This is a bit of a puzzle. This is the area in Princes Avenue where the new building for Kingsbury County School was built, replacing the former site in the Edgware Road.
Construction of the school is said to have started in 1929 and the school opened in 1931, but in this photograph (1931) there appears to be little sign of it nor of the adjacent and contemporary Roe Green Primary School.
This site and part of Roe Green Park were previously the site of Kingsbury Polo Club. |

This looks like it might be the prepared alignment of the Metropolitan Railway branch to Stanmore. |

This is a very interesting moment in time, probably early in 1931. The buildings marked here, on the south side of Kingsbury Road, are probably the main depot of Messrs Walter Scott & Middleton Ltd, the contractors hired by the Metropolitan Railway to build their extension from Wembley Park to Stanmore. There was a very tight deadline for this project, and by the end of 1932 the line had been opened and Kingsbury Station (on what is now London Underground's Jubilee Line)stood on this site.
You can read about the building of this railway line in an illustrated article in the Brent Archives Local History Resources collection at: http://www.brent.gov.uk/media/387473/Building%20the%20Stanmore%20Line.pdf
The attached photograph, from the article, shows a cutting being excavated, for the line through Kingsbury Station, just to the south (top right)of the depot. |

This is Honeypot Lane in its old "country lane" state, before it was improved and widened by the mid-1930's. There was probably a trackway along this route in pre-Roman times, and the Saxon settlers called it "Eldestrete", the old road, and used it as the boundary line between Harrow and Kingsbury parishes in the Hundred of Gore. The name "Honeypot" probably refers to the state that the lane was often in during the winter months, with they wet clay looking and feeling like honey to walk through! |
