Dist:0.5km east<br/>Looking southwards down Kenton Lane, with the Library on the right. The RLH-class bus is on route 230 from Northwick Park station to Rayners Lane, but there's very little other traffic in this 1955 view.

Dist:0.6km west<br/>In Christchurch Avenue, full details of this London Borough of Harrow facility can be found here http://www.harrow.gov.uk/ccm/content/leisure-and-culture/sports-services/harrow-leisure-centre.en

Dist:0.7km south<br/>This subway goes under the West Coast Main Line Railway between Kenton and Harrow and Wealdstone stations. Note the dedicated eastbound and westbound cyclists' lanes.

Dist:0.8km east<br/>Only two motor cars stand parked in Formby Avenue in this 1955 view - today it would be hard to find a space anywhere along the road. The gas lamps, of course, have also long disappeared.

Dist:1.0km west<br/>This station was opened by the London and Birmingham Railway (L&BR) as Harrow on 20 July 1837 in what was then rural Middlesex. The initials of the London & North Western Railway (successor to the L&BR) can be seen carved in stone above the doors

Dist:1.0km west<br/>Redolent of the nineteen-fifties is this view of commuters about to board the 08.26 steam train from Harrow and Wealdstone to Euston. Stopping only at Willesden Junction, it was much quicker than the local electric train or the Bakerloo line tube which were the alternatives.

Dist:1.0km north<br/>This photograph shows the station just after the down loop had been removed, so that all trains then had to use the other platform.

Dist:1.0km north<br/>The station seen here from the track to the north. The loop line to the right was removed shortly after the date of this photograph and trains then used the other platform.

Dist:1.0km north<br/>The long-forgotten station at Belmont, from where a shuttle train would convey you to Harrow & Wealdstone on the main line to Euston. This branch railway had originally extended to Stanmore Village.

Dist:1.0km north<br/>A fine parade of 1930s shops along the north side of the Circle, which is the focal point of the grid square. The OS 1940s map shows Belmont Station on the long since dismantled railway line to Stanmore immediately behind these shops.
