More about this scene
Daniel Defoe wrote: 'Watford - the town is very long having but one street'. A few roads had been added during the following three hundred years, but the main High Street is still very long and busy. On the left, standing proudly above the other roofs, is Fisher's butchers shop. In 1881, Francis Fisher had the cottages on the site demolished and erected this imposing new shop. Further on stands the Rose and Crown and the Compasses public houses. Opposite is Cawdells' department store with its imposing 1930s frontage; demonstrating the commercial success and wealth of Watford are branches of the National Provincial, Barclays and Lloyds Banks.
