These shots of Watford from above were captured using drone photography by Jason Ford, who shared them with members of the Watford Observer’s nostalgia Facebook page ‘We grew up in Watford’.
They were taken at approximately 6pm and show town centre landmarks including Atria and Watford FC from various heights, many against the colourful backdrop of the sun disappearing over the horizon.
