Watford F
Watford () is a town and borough in Hertfordshire, England, 15 miles northwest of Central London, on the River Colne. Initially a small market town, the Grand Junction Canal encouraged the construction of paper-making mills, print works, and breweries. While industry has declined in Watford, its location near London and transport links has attracted several companies to site their headquarters in the town.

In the 12th century, a charter was granted allowing a market, and the building of St Mary's Church began.

This was partly rebuilt in the 17th century and another country house was built at The Grove. The Grand Junction Canal in 1798 and the Lo ...
