@Rory_Cunningham This one looks to be near where Tesco is now, however there was one where Roger Banister Sports Ground is. The POWs built many of c the houses around the Weald estate. Join our Facebook group to find the photo and read the history.

This sarcastic cartoon from 1930/31 suggests the now dismantled gas tower in South Harrow was disliked from the start.

This beautiful house at the top of Roxeth Hill was once home to the American Ambassador for the UK.

Later it was lived in by C Macleod-Stuart who very kindly shared it with our group.

"This photo of Rayners Lane from 1932 is where the mini roundabout now is, with Suffolk Rd soon to be built in from the right and Whittington Way left. One of the signs on the right points across country to North Harrow Station' ~ B Parker

The original North Harrow station c.1925 - it was rebuilt a few years later. The Headstone Hotel is nearly complete over the road. (2nd pic is the Headstone Hotel, N. Harrow - now long gone)

Sad to see that the Brent Tavern on the Edgware Road is being demolished.

Loss of community and a beautiful 1930s building for more flats.

@Pressoffwfc @Superfast72 It was on the road that leads to West Harrow Station so I've always referred to it as West Harrow.
