Watford is a district to the north-west of London, within the boundaries of the M25 motorway. The population of Watford is 80,000. Originally, Watford was a fording point of the Rivers Gade and Colne. Inns and facilities for horses and passengers sprung up. the name Watford comes from this tradition - i.e. 'Water Ford'. Watford grew under the manor of 'Cassio' which had 4 mills. Later, the town was granted a charter, allowing Watford to hold a weekly market. This allowed a number of villagers to cease growing on their land, and instead many became market traders. Throughout the middle ages, Watford remained an agricultural market. a workhouse was built to house and occupy the increasing numbers of poor in the town.
