Watford Market

A Memory of Watford.

I can remember my mum taking us to Watford market, I just loved it, I was about 8 or 9, and loved looking at all the cheap jewellery, and coloured rubber balls, and toys, it had such a magical feel about it to me.
Mum always had to have a bowl of cockles with vinegar and pepper on them, from the fish stall.
We would just wander around, there were puppies for sale and kittens! And mum used to buy some Gibsons sausages as they were prize-winners! I can't remember if it was outside Cawdells that there was a 1d laughing policeman in a glass cage. That was 50 years ago and I still sometimes dream that I am back there just looking around with eyes wide open at all the lovely things they sold there.
