The station was one of several built on the London and North Western Railway's "New Line" from Camden to Watford Junction which enabled local services from Watford Junction station to Euston station and Broad Street station in London. The New Line was mostly alongside the United Kingdom's first main line railway which had been previously opened by the London and Birmingham Railway in 1837.
The southern part of the area is a suburban development consisting of houses, schools, small shops, supermarkets and pubs (notably The Weald Stone Inn, formerly called the Red Lion). The area was expanded around the First World War[1] and then again grew substantially in the following decades. By way of example, in 1901 the population of the area was 1,517 but by 1931 this figure had climbed to 10,923.[2]
It was close to the Great Northern Railway and had its own station.[1]
In 2005 the station underwent a refurbishment programme including improvements to signage, security and train information systems. Some of the original signs are in a 'petit-serif' adaptation of the London Underground typeface, Johnston Sans. This type-face was designed by Charles Holden and Percy Delf Smith.
