This postcard is more than a century old but the scene remains familiar due to one architectural feature.
The Watford Observer is delighted to share pictures from the Museum of Watford's archive and this week we look back at this scene.
The museum’s volunteer archivist Christine Orchard said: “This postcard from the early 20th century shows a domed building that no longer exists.
“It was once home to Boots from 1913 and, later in the 1960s, to Ketts.
“The site was redeveloped when the Harlequin centre was built, and the new entrance included a dome echoing the original.
“Today, the view closely resembles this postcard, with a dome still marking the junction of High Street and Queens Road.”
