A century-old photo of the shop on the corner of Kings Avenue and Queens Avenue in Watford.
There is a corner shop in West Watford that has been involved in the same business for more than a century.is delighted to share pictures from the archive at Watford Museum and this week we look back at this view at the corner of Kings Avenue and Queens Avenue.
The museum’s volunteer archivist Christine Orchard said: “It appears you've been able to buy groceries from a shop at the corner of Kings Avenue and Queens Avenue for at least 115 years.“In 1909, the shop was run by E Pratt, whose name is above the door in this image. “We don't have a firm date for this picture, but it cannot be before 1907 as a Kelly's street directory shows that only the odd-numbered houses in Kings Avenue had been built.”We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused.
