Watford

This stretch of track is part of what remained of the Watford to Rickmansworth (Church Street) line on 27th December 1975. The view is eastwards towards Croxley junction from an overbridge near Vicarage Road in Watford. The line was in sporadic use at the time for fuel oil deliveries to Croxley paper mill. The mill closed in 1980 and the trackbed now forms the Ebury Way. Early in its existence, there was a plan to connect this line to Edgware via Bushey and Elstree.
