18. Town Hall

This is the Watford Town Hall, where the council is run from, and also houses The Colosseum (an events venue). The present building was opened in 1940. Above the doors to the Colosseum (off the left of this picture), there are three panels carved into the brickwork: The left is an abacus, representing accountancy and official routine, the centre is a set-square, trowel and compass representing planning and building, and the right has some musical instruments, representing the social side of the building.

It is located at position 18 in green on the map, at the top of the High Street.
