Watford fire station is now located in Lower High Street but 20 years ago it was situated next to a roundabout at one of the main entrances to the town.

Back in June 2003, former Watford Observer photographer Pete Stevens took to the skies with Firecrest Aviation from Elstree to photograph the town and surrounding areas.

During his flight, he captured the images on this page which show the fire station at its former home at the junction of Rickmansworth Road and Whippendell Road.
