Established in 1863 the Watford Observer and General Advertiser for Watford, Bushey and Rickmansworth, was intended to be a paper for the people and by the people. A sentiment that holds true today. The company moved to Watford High Street where it remained until 1961 when the printing works was transferred to Rickmansworth Road. The newspaper had grown and was selling around 46,000 copies in the late 1960's. The Midweek Observer (which later became The Watford Free) was launched in 1969. The paper has been a long supporter of the hospice.
