Whether it be popular stately homes are objects from the past that are hidden away, history is all around us.
The new theme for our talented photographers is 'Historic Hertfordshire' and as you can see by scrolling down the pictures on this page, they have already captured a cross-section of pictures that illustrate the rich past of the Watford area and elsewhere in the county.
The Watford Observer Camera Club is a Facebook-based group. It is open to all photographers – from those who snap pictures on their phones, to professionals who capture perfect shots with specialist equipment.
Every four weeks, members of the camera club are set a new challenge, a theme is selected and then the work starts for our talented photographers.
Search for Watford Observer Camera Club on Facebook. Ask to join the group and we’ll accept you.
