http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watford
Watford is a town and district in Hertfordshire, England situated 21 miles northwest of London. The
borough lies just to the north of Greater London.
Watford remained an agricultural community with some cottage industry for many centuries. The
Industrial Revolution brought the Grand Junction Canal in 1798 and the London and Birmingham
Railway in 1837, both located here for the same reasons the road had followed centuries before, seeking
an easy gradient over the Chiltern Hills. By mid 1800’s Watford was a fairly cosmopolitan town.
