Wartime

A Memory of Watford.

I was taken by my parents to the Odeon Cinema in December 1939 and heard the song 'There'll always be an England' sung for the first time. Whenever I hear this song today, it takes me back to the Odeon - I was 13 at the time.

I was born in Watford in 1926 and have many many memories of Watford during the peace years of the 1930s and the war years from 1939-1945. I had an office overlooking the Pond from 1958-1983 and remember the day the High Street was closed to traffic for the start of the one-way system. I also remeber Harold Macmillan making a political speech at the old Conservative club by the Pond in, I think, 1959.
