There is a walkway next to a high street pizza restaurant in Watford that used to be home to a hairdressers, but can you remember the shop’s name?

The Watford Observer has again teamed up with its friends at Watford Museum to look back at structures, objects or businesses from the town’s past that have either disappeared or been relocated and this week we recall a hairdressers in Carey Place.

The museum’s volunteer archivist Christine Orchard said: “There used to be a hairdressers at 1a Carey Place which occupied a very old building of the 16th to 17th century.

“It was on a narrow roadway that used to run from the High Street to Derby Road, although at the time of this picture it was closed to motor traffic.

“When the shopping centre was constructed lots of buildings were demolished but this tiny part of Carey Place survived, its entrance being next to Pizza Express.”
