This well known sculpture has been part of the Watford landscape for 60 years and it is now in its third home.

The Watford Observer is again delighted to team up with its friends at Watford Museum to look at some structures or objects that were part of the town’s past that have either disappeared or been relocated.

The museum’s volunteer archivist Christine Orchard said: “The Dancing Woman sculpture, designed by Charles William Dyson-Smith, has had a number of homes.

“She was presented to the town in 1962 by William Percy King, a Watford solicitor and was, for a handful of years on the Rickmansworth Road side, of the Town Hall. However, most people will remember her being next to the Library.

“She moved again in 2012, and is now at Cheslyn Gardens in Nascot Wood Road.”
