It was built in 1954 to the designs of the architectural practice of Yates, Cook & Derbyshire and forms a prominent landmark along the A41 North Western Avenue. The massive clock tower has a purpose - it houses a tank for holding water during the printing process. The building is listed." Watford, London. The building design was inspired by Stockholm City Hall
