EPW062561 ENGLAND (1939). The Kodak Works and environs, Harrow, 1939

Post-war, this attractive rural setting was to become the site of a large LCC council housing estate. As with the Carpenders Park/South Oxhey Estate, it was built to rehouse people mostly coming from the East End of London.

The Goodwill to All pub. I don't think there were many decent people who mourned it's passing in 2010. In it's latter years, it had become something of a dive.

Site of Station Z - Air Ministry Citadel. This is quite an interesting view as it shows the building under construction. It was planned in 1938, during the run-up to WW2, as an emergency HQ for the Air Ministry (RAF). In this it would serve the same purpose as the similar constructions built for the War Cabinet ('Paddock' - beneath the GPO Research Building at Dollis Hill) and the Oxgate Admiralty Citadel at Cricklewood. In the event of a devastating attack on London, the respective bodies would be able to relocate to these emergency facilities. The Air Ministry Citadel was constructed on land at the rear of the HMSO building at Wealdstone and consisted of a three storey brick surface block surmounting heavily reinforced basement and sub-basement levels. The block was demolished in the 90s after it had been acquired by Kodak. The protective underground levels survive.
