Watford: Lammas Road railway bridge
Watford: Lammas Road railway bridge
The railway from Watford to Rickmansworth (Church Street) through Watford High Street station was originally opened in 1862 and subsequently taken over in 1881 by the London & North Western Railway (LNWR). However it was not until some fifty years later, and just before the start of the First World War, that the LNWR built the connecting lines between Bushey and Watford High Street stations and between Bushey and Rickmansworth (Church Street) stations, creating a triangular junction in the process. This bridge carries the last surviving section of these railways and the junction, between Bushey and Watford High Street stations, over Lammas Road.

The No Waiting road signs define the parking restrictions in place whenever the Watford Stadium at Vicarage Road is in use for match days.
