Can't be sure I have the location correct for this. Park-keeper's accomodation? - 'Oxhey' in flower-bed form? I put this photo here rather than see it lost. Actaul location? Maybe Upper Paddock Rd allotments or Oxhey Park?

Watford Heath 302 Bus route Not convinced this photo was taken in Waford Heath, however the 302 Bus route would see buses sit on Watford Heath, before turn-round.

This house for reasons I'm not sure of, was a ruin in the late 60s / early 70s. Used to play in it as a kid.

1927 Aerial of Oxhey Green Lane in Foreground: This fine image is an oblique aerial photograph of part of Oxhey in the late 1920s, during a period of rapid change. In the foreground, the new road of Woodwaye (1925) has been laid out. In the middle distance, trees and large, well-spaced detached houses line both sides of Green Lane, which eventually leads to Oxhey Place, less than a mile to the south of the camera position. More continuous housing development is observed on Oxhey Road, from which Kingsfield Road and Cedar Road extend in a north-easterly direction towards the London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMSR) line. Just visible on the extreme right-hand edge is one of the two reservoirs which served the railway troughs at Bushey until the mid-1960s. On the left of picture, woods occupy Deacon’s Hill and the western part of Oxhey Park, beyond which is the 1912 viaduct over the river Colne and the LMSR Bushey Curve. Almost obscured by trees in the middle of the photo is the distinctive spire of St. Matthew’s Parish Church (1880), on the western side of Bushey Station. Beyond the railway viaduct are the familiar gasholders on Watford’s Lower High Street. In the background, on the right-hand side, is the tall clock tower of the Royal Masonic School, by which umpires officiating at Bushey Cricket Club (Moat Field) used to call time for more than half a century from 1927. The writer played seven seasons for the Club between 1958 and 1965.

These were, I believe, the tanks for filling the water troughs on the railway below. Steam locomotives would scoop up water at speed from the water troughs between the rails.
