Locksmith service in Croxley Green, WD3
Croxley Green is an interwar suburb in Hertfordshire, three miles south-west of Watford, with around 12,000 residents in the WD3 postcode. The suburb developed mostly in the 1920s and 30s as Metro-land commuter housing for London workers, with a small Victorian core and newer estate infill on the edges.
Croxley Green is dominated by 1920s-30s Metro-land semi-detached housing. The streets through the centre and around New Road and Watford Road have substantial bay-fronted semis with timber doors that have been mostly replaced with uPVC during the 1990s and 2000s. Newer infill development uses composite doors.
