Although the heart of Watford has changed significantly over the years, some buildings have survived for a century or more.
The Watford Observer is delighted to share pictures from the Museum of Watford's archive and this week we look back at this former wine merchants.
The museum’s volunteer archivist Christine Orchard said: “Findlater, Mackie, Todd & Co., Ltd. was a well-known upmarket wine and spirits merchant although mostly the name was shortened to Findlater's.
“They began trading in Watford before the 1920s and had several addresses in the Market Street section of High Street.
“This photo shows their 1920/1930s address at 58 High Street.
“Many people may recall their shop on the opposite corner in the 1940s and 50s.
“Today the building in the photo is occupied by Five Guys.”
