With thanks to watfordmuseum for these pictures, a pub that some of you remember
The building was demolished to make way for a dual carriageway but this week’s picture from the Watford Museum archive remembers a pub that stood next to the canal – The Halfway House.
The museum’s volunteer archivist Christine Orchard said: “The Halfway House was where the Watford and Rickmansworth roads met at Cassio Bridge and the pub itself was situated between the Grand Union Canal and the River Gade. This photograph, above, was taken at the beginning of the 1900s when the pub's landlord was Henry Colebrooke - he had been running the pub for at least ten years.
