Watford ROC HQ - Jan 2012

The Watford Royal Observer Corps HQ was built in 1943 specially for the group. The group was disbanded in 1968 but the site was kept on for training purposes. It was eventually sold to a vets practice who use the site for storage. Visited as an organised event, it's a nice site, very well preserved but most of the place is filled with cat carriers, bird cages and various other animal detritus so it's a bit hard to take any pictures without all the animal paraphernalia detracting from them greatly. Shouldn't complain though, they could well have stripped out the lot!
