The Harlequin was attracting plenty of shoppers even though the choice of outlets was very limited in its early days
The entrance to Watford’s gleaming new shopping centre had opened but work was a long way from being completed as the end of 1990 loomed on the horizon. Shoppers were able to visit Trewins and the newly-opened Boots store as they looked for Christmas gifts 33 years ago following the opening of phase one of the town’s new flagship development.
While people were enjoying the opportunity to shop in new stores in the town centre, they were surrounded by the ongoing construction work continuing boarding hoardings or beneath their feet in what would become the Lower Mall. A Watford Observer photographer visited the Harlequin in November 1990 to take a look at how the new centre was continuing to take shape – more than a year-and-a-half before it fully opened in June 1992.We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues.
