Northolt
The settlement of Northolt is mentioned in the Domesday Book as being held by Geoffrey de Mandeville, and archaeological evidence suggests that there was a Saxon village at the location from the 8th century onwards.
St Mary's Church, built in the 15th century, and located in the villageThe medieval village had its origins in the Saxon period and is recorded in the Domesday Book. The area remained rural, producing arable crops, until suburban development began in the 1920s. Two important transport links, the Grand Union Canal and the modern A40 road, run through Northolt. Local landmarks include St Mary the Virgin's church and a clock tower erected to commemorate the coronation of King George VI.
Northala Fields country park has artificial mounds built of rubble from the first Wembley Stadium. The Polish War Memorial, nearby, lists the names of Polish airmen who were based at nearby RAF Northolt, an RAF airbase in neighbouring South Ruislip which was named after Northolt Junction railway station which served it at the time. There was a pony racing track before World War II, now used for housing.
Kensington Road, near Smith's FarmFrom medieval times through to late Victorian times, the area was rural with predominantly arable crops being grown. In the early part of the 18th century farmland was enclosed in order to provide hay for the City of London, alongside more traditional crops such as peas and beans. A barn constructed in the area in 1595 can now be seen in the Chiltern Open Air Museum. A 14th century moated manor existed behind the present Court Farm Road and was excavated from 1950 onwards.
PopulationNortholt remained a rural, agricultural area throughout the 19th century. Its population growth remained slow:
The rapid growth of the population of the area during the mid part of the 20th century can be attributed to Northolt's growth as a dormitory town for nearby Ealing and the construction of the A40 road through the area in 1935. Modern family homes were built in the 1920s and 1930s, although by the 1950s and 1960s the housing being constructed was predominantly local authority rented housing. 3,423 council houses had been built in Northolt by 1963. Northolt tube station was opened in 1948 to serve the growing population of the area. Northolt is diverse in the fact that it has fairly wealthy areas such as Northolt Village, the Racecourse Estates and Wood End including areas up to Sudbury Hill, Grange Court (towards Ruislip) and South Harrow and poorer areas.
A40 Western Avenue, taken from near Islip Manor[edit] Other infoMost of the housing north of the Western Avenue was built in the 1920s-1930s and is in the private housing sector, while most of the housing built to the south of the Western Avenue was built in the 1960s-1970s and is in the public/social housing sectors, particularly along the Kensington and Ruislip Roads. In the 21st century, a new large private housing development was built on the former site of the Taylor Woodrow company, adjacent to the Grand Union Canal. This development is known as "Grand Union Village" and incorporates a new canal boat marina.
The former old village centre still survives and on viewing St Mary's church from the village green, one could believe that one was still in a rural village. Northolt Village and the area near the tube station is recognised centre and there is a village community centre building in Ealing Road opposite St Mary's church, which incorporates an open air miniature railway.
The population consists of a mix of young and older people. The area has mostly White people. Areas to the north of the Western Avenue which incorporate many bungalows tend to have an older population.
St Mary the Virgin's church (14th century), which stands on the hill overlooking the old village. The Welsh poet Goronwy Owen was briefly a curate here. Bishop Samuel Lisle is buried here.
Willow Cottages, on the village green. Willow Cottages are said to have been built from bricks from the old manor house, which once stood behind the parish church.
The two towers of the disused RAF radio station north of the town. The two towers are situated in the Wood End wireless station recreation ground which is bordered on all sides by housing (Bayshill Rise, Lancaster Road, Blenheim road). The location is now home to a National Air Traffic Control base.
In the centre of the village is a freestanding clock tower erected to commemorate the coronation of George VI in 1937.
A large area alongside the A40 road has been redeveloped as an extension to the Northolt and Greenford Country Park, by the name of Northala Fields. The development consists of four large manmade conical hills, which act as a sound barrier to block traffic noise from the Western Avenue, and is a popular tourist attraction. Behind the mounds are new ponds and a visitor centre. Two car parks, for Northala fields, are available, one off Kensington Road the other off the southern slip road between the A40 and The Target roundabout. There is no direct access (eastbound or westbound) from the A40. Access from the A40 is eastbound from The Target Roundabout and immediately take the slip road down towards Kensington Road.
The White Hart public house, and the nearby White Hart Roundabout. The pub is on the site of a very old coaching inn, and the roundabout immediately south of it is on the junction of the A312 (Church Road and Hayes Bypass) with the A4180 (Ruislip Road and West End Road). The Yeading Lane also joins the roundabout.
The Larkspur Rovers F.C. clubhouse in Rowdell Road, Northolt, is a strikingly noticeable building to passers-by.
A leisure centre, incorporating a pool, a fitness centre, a community hall and a library was built on the site of the former Swimarama swimming pool at the junction of Mandeville Road and Eastcote Lane North, and opened in 2010.
Northolt was famous for the pony racing which took place in Northolt Park. A one and a half mile (2.4 km) racecourse was constructed by Sir William Bass and Viscount Lascelles, and opened in 1929 by the Earl of Harewood and his wife the Princess Royal. During World War II the land was taken over and used as an army depot and prisoner of war camp. Despite numerous attempts to revive pony racing after the war [1], the land was given over to housing construction. The Racecourse Estate was constructed between 1951 and 1955 in order to solve a severe housing shortage within the Borough. The gates of the original racecourse still remain in Petts Hill, and a section of the track can be observed as a long, flat stretch of land alongside Mandeville Road.
The Royal Air Force has a station near Northolt. Sometimes called as Northolt Aerodrome, it is situated in the neighbouring town of South Ruislip in the London Borough of Hillingdon. Most early RAF airfields were named after the nearest railway station, in this case Northolt Junction (now South Ruislip).
Northolt Park railway station is a Network Rail station in Northolt, Greater London. It is in Cadogan Close and spans the boundary between the London Borough of Harrow and the London Borough of Ealing, with a footbridge connecting the north side (leading to Roxeth and South Harrow) to the south side (leading to Northolt and Greenford).
The service to the station has much improved (until the late 1990s only peak hour trains stopped there). There are improvements in the access to the station as part of the Petts Hill road improvement scheme.

The population mainly consists of young people and growing families. The younger people are racially diverse. Areas to the north of the Western Avenue which incorporate many bungalows tend to have an older population.
Northolt does not have a recognised centre, and is made up of mainly residential areas with very few facilities and as a consequence there is very little community cohesiveness. There is a village community centre building in Ealing Road opposite St Mary's church, which incorporates an open air miniature railway.

GR8Drive Featured On LBC Radio
Gaz Reynolds (owner of GR8Drive) was asked to appear on the Nick Ferrari Show on LBC Radio on 21.06.13 to conduct a driving experiment with an experienced driver of 27 years from the Harrow area who urgently wanted to refresh his driving skills.
