  • CASSIOBURY PARK Watford, Hertfordshire
    HERITAGE CASSIOBURY PARK Watford, Hertfordshire CLIENT: WATFORD BOROUGH COUNCIL VALUE: £5,400,000 CONTRACT PERIOD: 69 WEEKS This 18 month-long scheme saw works take place across what is, at 190 acres, Watford’s largest public open space. Attracting around 2 million The newly refurbished Cha Cafe visitors a year, Cassiobury Park’s historic importance was recognised in 1999 when it entered at Grade II in the English Heritage’s Register of Parks and Gardens of Historical Interest. The project, on behalf of Watford Borough Council, was made possible by funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Big Lottery and incorporated: • The careful restoration and relocation of a Grade II listed Hill and Smith Bandstand from the Town Hall back to its original home in the park • Refurbishment works to the existing Cha Cafe including the creation of a new external playground and surrounding paving/ landscaping works • The creation of a new entrance to the park which features a “footprint” of the old gatehouse laid out in the cobblestones • Restoration of the former Mill to Cassiobury House, the house itself was demolished in 1927 The final phase was the construction of a eco-friendly Hub Building and the modernisation of existing paddling pools in the heart of the park. Set into the landscape the Hub is finished with striking CorTen weathered steel cladding and features a cafe, exhibition rooms, educational facilities, changing facilities for the nearby sports pitches, toilets and office space for park staff. Living Sedum roof on the Hub Building An environmentally friendly approach was adopted from the outset to ensure the construction process was optimised and the finished build was as sustainable as possible.

  • WHERE GATES ONCE STOOD by Ian Welland
    WHERE GATES ONCE STOOD By Ian Welland William Cross lit his lantern and bid a passer-by good day. ‘You take care now Jack, these nights are drawing in fast.’ ‘You too Will. See you at the Tantivy?’ ‘Not tonight; his Lordship wants me to keep watch on some poachers over at Grove Mill.’ William noticed the warm autumnal feel that had dominated September, had been firmly replaced by a rasping air that was seasonally moving the park toward winter’s veil. The leaves, golden and crimson, were now felled. The ground, inky and damp. William pulled his thick collar up around his neck and tucked his scarf securely into his coat. Making his way to the small gates on the far side of the park, he called to a stranger gazing from the bandstand toward the River Gade. ‘Sir, time to take your leave. If you want Watford Met, I’m about to close the small gates.’ ‘No thank you Watchman,’ said the stranger. ‘For I seek lodgings in town.’ ‘In that case, I will come by and light your way to the ramparts.’ After securely locking the small gates, William made good his promise to the stranger by lighting their path toward the triumphant castle-esque rampart gates that led to the town. ‘These gates were put ‘ere when Great Britain joined Ireland in an act of union. ‘Tis said that King George himself admired these gates; so much so, he wanted a similar archway for Buckingham Palace.’ William chuckled. ‘Probably old wives tale, but I like it.’ ‘They are magnificent,’ said the stranger.

  • The Grove Coverage Book
    RECLAIM MAGAZINE HERITAGE HOME House with History THE GROVE Nestled in Hertfordshire, just a short journey from London, this former party manor for royalty and aristocracy has been returned to its glory days WORDS BELINDA WANIS he turn-off for Te Grove is quite auspicious. But as you wend your way through the golf course and over the bridge nothing prepares you for the commanding Georgian manor that comes into view sitting atop the hill. Set in 300 acres of rolling Hertfordshire countryside, this former home of the Villiers family – the Earls of Clarendon – has a rich history dating back to at least the 1500s, though there is archaeological evidence on the grounds of Bronze Age pottery. Attracting T the aristocracy and artists alike, painter George Stubbs regularly graced its grounds, inspired to create his famous equine portraits. Towering over the terrace today is a beautiful black walnut tree, one of the first to be brought to Britain and presented to the Earl of Clarendon as a sapling in the 1770s by the great explorer Captain James Cook. When the fifth Earl became secretary and aide to Queen Victoria in 1846, he decided to throw lavish house parties for the Queen and British gentry who would travel up from London for the weekend parties – a new phenomenon which Te Times described as ‘weekending’. However, just before the Great Depression, Te Grove suffered a downturn as the Villiers family was forced to sell up to reduce the burden of estate tax. Te mansion was used variously as a college of nutrition, riding and boarding schools, before it was requisitioned as the secret headquarters for the railways during World War II.

  • 101209 Watford Open Space Study 2010
    Watford Open Space Study 2010. 1.0. Introduction 1.1. Watford is an urban borough in South-West Hertfordshire – on the edge of the East of England region and 16 miles northwest from central London. At just over 8 sq. miles in area (2,142 hectares), with a population of 82,500 (ONS 2008 mid-year population estimate, issued May 2010), Watford is a small borough with a big role within the region. The town sits at the intersection of the M1, A41 and M25 providing enhanced road access to the major airports of Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton. Watford is served by mainline rail services to London Euston, the Midlands, the North West and Glasgow as well as the Metropolitan underground line to Baker Street and the City. There is also an extensive network of local bus routes linking Watford to other nearby towns such as St. Albans, Rickmansworth, Hemel Hempstead, Harlow and Hatfield. 1.2. Socio-economic and demographic data for Watford has been drawn from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) web site which provides information at Super Output Area (SOA) level. This is a new level of analysis introduced to enable comparison to be made over time and is for smaller areas instead of looking at ward or borough data. There are 53 SOAs in Watford, 31 of which have more than 20% of households with no car and 7 of which have more than 30% of households with no car. The SOAs nearest to the town centre are the most densely populated and have the highest percentage of households with no vehicles.
