Boots the chemist in first months of Harlequin shopping centre

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.
