<br/>I noticed the sub-station because it was labelled with an 8 figure grid reference, then thought an ivy covered red brick building was an appropriate building for its surroundings in Harrow School.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>This very old church, which stands right on the top of Harrow Hill, was consecrated by St. Anselm in AD 1084.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>With a building much larger than many churches, this still goes under the name 'chapel'. Although its spire is not quite as high as that of the Parish Church, because it is on the edge of the hill it is more prominent, and is visible from several miles' distance to the south-east.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>This leads to Football Lane and the Harrow School Playing Fields. It is a public footpath but runs through Harrow School grounds.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>The road straight ahead is High Street, with the school Chapel and its spire on the right. The hill up to the left is Church Hill, with the lychgate of the Parish Church visible at the top of the hill, and the Old Schools on the left. For a similar photograph taken some 51 years ago, see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/363642 .

Dist:0.3km north<br/>Harrow School Oufitters is on the corner. View is down West Street.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>This is at the junction of Church Hill and the High Street. Note the boys in Harrow School uniform -- it is a Sunday morning but they still have to wear it. It is a distinctive one, with long coat tails.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>The School was founded in 1572 under a Royal Charter granted by Elizabeth I to John Lyon, a local farmer. A scholar wearing a top hat can just be seen in the doorway. Copious details of the School, including this week's menu (!), can be found on the School's website http://www.harrowschool.org.uk/html/overview/tradition/history/

Dist:0.3km north<br/>West Street rises up to join High Street on the left, just beyond the gas lamp. The spire of the Parish Church is visible at the left, and that of the school chapel is also just visible, centre right, behind the tree. For a similar photograph taken some 51 years earlier, see [[363769]]

Dist:0.3km north<br/>High Street continues round to the left, while down the hill to the right is West Street. For a photograph taken here some 51 years ago, see [[363680]]

Dist:0.4km north<br/>This building on Church Hill is the original Harrow School.
