The restoration of a cemetery's iron gates has been completed after years of weathering caused some damage.

Mayor of Watford Peter Taylor has officially reopened the gates at 88-year-old North Watford Cemetery.

Extensive corrosion to the metal work and damage caused by years of weathering has been repaired by award winning heritage restorers Lost Art, which also restored the Edwardian bandstand in Cassiobury Park. New paint has also been applied to restore the gates to their former glory.
