EPW037781 ENGLAND (1932). Housing estate centred upon Christchurch Avenue, Kenton, from the south-west, 1932

Future site of 94 Brampton Grove. Our house.

Kenton Lane Farm. Probably the last working farm in Kenton. It was owned latterly by J H Brazier, a family-owned dairy. It was, by then, operated more as a milk delivery depot, I think, rather than a working farm as much of the old farmland had long since disappeared beneath housing. Other branches of the family had dairies at Preston Road and at Carpenders Park. I imagine that they all fell victim to the rise of the supermarket. Kenton Lane Farm has been redeveloped for housing, only very recently. Happily, the old (Georgian?) farmhouse and an original stable block or cow barn at the rear appear to have been retained. The new housing being concentrated on open land and an area previously occupied by a few rough and ready out buildings.

So is this the site of the library?

Low bridge carrying the Wealdstone-Stanmore Railway crossing Christchurch Avenue. This required the use of special low double decker buses until the bridge was removed following closure. In hindsight, a great pity the line wasn't preserved. It would have been a great attraction, so near to central London
