We have again dipped into the Watford Observer’s online archive and today bring you 10 pictures that were captured by our photographers in 1986.

They feature adorable young adorable ballerinas enjoying a class in Oxhey while other children are entertained by a visiting group of Smurfs.

Elsewhere, hairdressing awards were being presented at a colleague, traffic wardens took the opportunity to show off their new hats and a fun run took place in Chorleywood.

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.
