Watford Station. 20^th July 1837. The original station at Watford was near to what is now Watford Junction Station but on a slightly different site.  The line here curves right round the town because a direct line would have gone through the grounds of Cassiobury – so the Earls of Essex and Clarendon insisted that the line swept in a quarter circle round the town and thus this the earliest Watford station was built immediately to the north of St. Albans road. The required diversion also involved digging a tunnel, in the course of which 10 men were killed.  A small brick building from the original of 1837 is now said to be used by repair garage and there is a loading bank of sleeper blocks,
