People in Watford got their first proper look at the new pond this week as its make-over was completed as part of the £4.3 million town centre regeneration scheme.

The water feature has emerged from months of building works with a new bridge, steps leading down to its water, new foliage, and a new water filtration system.

The old pond must be little more than a distant memory to shoppers and residents in the town.

However here are pictures of the old pond so you can see how the new model compares to its former self.
