Demolishing building is always dangerous but it was even more so around 50 years ago as these pictures illustrate.
These images were shared with the Watford Observer by the founder of the Leavesden Hospital History Association Martin Brooks, who came across them in his collection.
The photos have the year 1969 written on the back but Martin does not know any further details. Are you able to help? Do you recognise the building? Or perhaps you can help identify one or more of the workmen in the pictures?
If you can provide any information or background about the pictures, get in touch via the link below.
