We have again dipped into the Watford Observer’s online archive and today bring you 10 pictures that were captured by our photographers in 1975.

There is a strong theatrical and show theme to this selection, with a dress rehearsal for a ‘Gang Show’ while North Watford Scouts were also rehearsing for a performance.

Staff at Leavesden Hospital were performing Cinderella and over in Bushey a performance of Aladdin was being staged by St Peters Players.

The notable exception to this theme was at Watford Technical College where a Yard of Ale competition was taking place.

These images were last published around seven years ago and we hope you will enjoy looking through them for the first time or being reminded of them again.
