Dist:0.3km<br/>The structure is a reminder of Watford's history as a centre of the printing industry. It was built in 1954 to the designs of the architectural practice of Yates, Cook & Derbyshire and forms a prominent landmark along the A41 North Western Avenue. The massive clock tower has a purpose - it houses a tank for holding water during the printing process. The building is listed. (Note from a purely cartographic point of view the co-ordinates given for this photo illustrate the distortion caused in the Ordnance Survey's 1:50,000 mapping by the over-emphasis on the importance of roads, and their greatly exaggerated width. The co-ordinates are taken from the much more accurate 1:10,000 scale maps.)
