This scene was captured around 55 years ago but it continues to resonate with cars parked on both sides of the road.
The Watford Observer is delighted to share pictures from the archive at Watford Museum and this week we recall this view of Copsewood Road.
The museum's volunteer archivist Christine Orchard said: "Copsewood Road is the first road that turns off Leavesden Road when coming from St Albans Road; the turning is just beyond a long building which used to be a bus garage.
- The road junction nicknamed after a factory with a distinctive clock tower
- Walking on stilts along a side road in the past
- A snap captured the day before this bridge was demolished
"The side of that old building, now converted to flats, can be seen at the end of the road.
"Like today the road is busy with parked cars.
"We don't have a firm date for the photo, but I think it dates to the late 1960s or early 1970s."
