Watford: High Street and the Exchange Road flyover

Submitted by Nigel Cox

Name	Watford: High Street and the Exchange Road flyover
Distance	0.09 miles from WD18 0JY
Description	The High Street is pedestrianized. The flyover was built in 1972 and allows traffic from the A411 Exchange Road to reach Beechen Grove (one-way from left to right in this photograph). The coats of arms of Watford and its five twin towns are on the flyover parapet. They are, from left to right, Mainz, Nanterre, Novgorod, Watford, Pesaro and Wilmington. The twinning with Novgorod, which happened in 1984, met with some local opposition and the forming of the WART group (Watford Against Russian Twinning!).
