This block of seven shops with flats above was built in 1934/35 by Marrable Brothers for the London Co-operative Society, which opened a department store covering four of the units (518 to 524 Kingsbury Road) in May 1935 (see photograph attached, showing its grand opening).
The Co-op had moved from Kingsbury Road by the 1980's, and the lease of the ground floor of Nos. 520-524 was taken over by Brent Council. It was used at first as the borough's northern arwa Housing Office, but in 2007/08 was converted to provide a more central location for Kingsbury Library. '
