EPW034804 ENGLAND (1931). Kenton Road and environs, Kenton, from the south, 1931

No sign yet of Belmont Circle or the surrounding development that would soon appear.

Kenton Lane Farm

Barclay's Bank.

St Leonard's mission church. This was built in 1927, to service the growing community in this rapidly developing community. It was probably only ever intended as a temporary structure, and in 1937 the St Mary-the-Virgin church building was completed in the land to the rear. It explains the anomaly, to some, of the church being called St Mary's, but the adjoining road being called St Leonard's Avenue.

Kenton Gardens

Kenton Cricket Club - formed in 1927

Dry's Garage

Churchill Hall - probably known at this time as Northwick Park Hall.

This building housed the lower school of Buckingham College, the upper school being in Hindes Road, Harrow.

St John's Church hall. This building pre-dated slightly the building of the actual church, which it adjoined. There was another smaller hall, which was incorporated to the rear of the later church building.

Kenton Odeon cinema would be built on this vacant plot (opened 1935). Perhaps the billboard is announcing its intended arrival.

Kenton (WORdsworth) Telephone Exchange would be built on this vacant plot.

Railway Terrace. These were tied cottages built for employees of the LNWR railway. They were built some years before the rest of this part of Kenton was developed - probably around the time Kenton Station was opened in 1912.

Electricity sub-station for the Euston-Watford trains.

Northwick Park Golf Course, formerly part of Sheepcote Farm.

Northwick Park and Kenton (now Northwick Park) Metropolitan Railway Station. Opened 28 June 1923.

Markings for a planned Aston Avenue
