Harebreaks recreation ground in Watford pictured 70 years ago
This picture was taken more than 70 years and it shows the entrance to a park in Watford that people continue to enjoy every day.
The Watford Observer is delighted to share pictures from the archive at Watford Museum and this week we look back at this view of Harebreaks Recreation Ground.
The museum’s volunteer archivist Christine Orchard said: “Today, entrances to our recreation grounds and parks have a simple and open design.
“This photograph, looking out of the Harebreaks Recreation Ground towards the road seems more complex.
“Where there had been a grassy area there was now planting and flowers along both sides of the path.
“I wonder if this redesign was in connection with it being Coronation year.”
