Northwood
Situated in Middlesex, on the edge of the Greater London area also known as Metroland, Ruislip, Northwood and Eastcote together form the ancient 11th century parish of Ruislip.
Northwood is recorded in 1435 as Northwode, formed from the Old English 'north' and 'wode', meaning 'the northern wood', in relation to Ruislip. Northwood Hills shares the origin.
By 1891, Northwood had 115 houses, one shop and one public house. In 1901, there was a population of 2,500, with around 500 houses and 26 shops.
The monks of the Bec Abbey who lived at Manor Farm in Ruislip in the 11th century owned a grange in Northwood.
Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury had 568 acres (230 ha) cleared in the Manor of Ruislip in 1608. Much of this land was in Northwood, and the area remained as wasteland until the 1814 Enclosure Act.
A land survey conducted by King's College, Cambridge, the new lords of the manor of Ruislip, in 1565 recorded ten houses and several farms.
By 1881, the population of Northwood had reached 257, with 62 houses recorded. The Eastbury estate owned by David Carnegie covered much of the area by that time. In 1887, the Metropolitan Railway was extended from Harrow-on-the-Hill to Rickmansworth, and Carnegie sold his land to Frank Murray Maxwell Hallowell Carew for development for £59,422. Northwood station opened in August that year.
Carew stipulated the prices for the new housing he had built, with the cottages along the west side of the High Street priced at £120. He had hoped these would be owned by the staff of the larger houses in the area. The High Street itself had been a track leading on from Rickmansworth Road to Gate Hill Farm. The first shops opened in 1895 on the east side of the road, and included a hairdresser, butchers and a fishmongers. Carew sold the majority of the estate to George Wieland in 1892.
By 1902, the population had reached 2,500, with a total of 500 houses and 36 shops also recorded. In 1904, the Emmanuel Church opened, having been designed by Sir Frank Elgood, a local architect. It had been built in 1895 to originally serve as a school. Sir Frank also served as chairman of the Ruislip-Northwood Urban District Council.
Northwood and Pinner Cottage Hospital was built in 1926 as a memorial to the First World War, using donations from the Ruislip Cottagers' Allotments Charity. The hospital was closed in 2008 after the Hillingdon Primary Care Trust admitted it had become too costly to maintain. In 2010, the trust announced the hospital would remain empy for another four years, while funding what used to improve services in other areas of the London Borough of Hillingdon. In 2011, the trust admitted the hospital could remain closed for a further ten years.
Northwood is the home to Northwood Headquarters, based in the grounds of Eastbury Park, the estate purchased by David Carnegie in 1857. The Royal Air Force took over the site in 1939 for the use of RAF Coastal Command which made use of Eastbury house and also created a network of underground bunkers and operations blocks. The house was used as an Officers' Mess though was subsequently damaged by fire. The RAF vacated the site in 1969, and it is now the location of the British Armed Forces Permanent Joint Headquarters (PJHQ) for planning and controlling overseas military operations, together with the NATO Regional Command.
An area of Northwood has been put under a place of special interest restriction, as the area, including the old High Street, Chester Road and Hallowell Road has many Victorian houses and the roads form a triangular shape. The Northwood post town of the HA postcode area area extends into Hertfordshire to include Eastbury and Moor Park. Nearest places are Watford, Hatch End, Northwood Hills, Pinner, Ruislip, South Oxhey and Eastcote.
Northwood is a popular area for Learner Drivers as its situated in between Pinner and Watford Driving Test Centeres.
London Borough Of Hillingdon
The London Borough of Hillingdon is the westernmost borough in Greater London, England. The borough's population was recorded as 243,006 in the 2001 Census. The borough incorporates the former districts of Ruislip-Northwood, Uxbridge, Hayes and Harlington and Yiewsley and West Drayton in the historic county of Middlesex. Today, Hillingdon is home to Heathrow Airport and Brunel University, and is the second largest of the 32 London boroughs.
Hillingdon Council governs the borough, with its headquarters in the Civic Centre in Uxbridge. For administrative purposes, the borough is split into North and South Hillingdon with more industrial units to the south and residential suburban areas in the north. Much of the residential areas were expanded with the extension of the Metropolitan Railway from Harrow on the Hill to Uxbridge in the early 1900s and the gradual establishment of stops along the line, becoming known as "Metro-land".
The borough was formed in 1965 from the Municipal Borough of Uxbridge, Hayes and Harlington Urban District, Ruislip-Northwood Urban District and Yiewsley and West Drayton Urban District of Middlesex. The councils involved were initially unable to decide upon a name, with Keith Joseph suggesting "Uxbridge" in October 1963, later revised to Hillingdon.
The coat of arms for the London Borough of Hillingdon were granted on 22 March 1965
London Borough Of Harrow
The London Borough of Harrow is a London borough of north-west London. It borders Hertfordshire to the north and other London boroughs: Hillingdon to the west, Ealing to the south, Brent to the south-east and Barnet to the east.
Harrow was formed in 1934 as an urban district of Middlesex by the Middlesex Review Order 1934, as a merger of the former area of Harrow on the Hill Urban District, Hendon Rural District and Wealdstone Urban District. The local authority was Harrow Urban District Council.
The urban district gained the status of municipal borough on 4 May 1954 and the urban district council became Harrow Borough Council. The 50th anniversary of the incorporation as a borough was celebrated in April 2004, which included a visit by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
In 1965 the municipal borough was abolished and its former area was transferred to Greater London from Middlesex under the London Government Act 1963 to form the London Borough of Harrow. It is uniquely the only London borough to replicate exactly the unchanged boundaries of a single former district. This was probably because its population was large enough. According to the 1961 census it had a population of 209 080, making it the largest local government district in Middlesex.
The presence of Harrow School on the main 'hill' of Harrow has preserved it as a very affluent, leafy area (recent house price averages on the hill were £1,500,000), but the affluence of the hill is now surrounded by typical north-west London suburbia of semi-detached houses and flats.
It is still considered affluent in comparison to other similar areas of London. Crime figures are low; the borough had 1,111 notifiable offences in April 2007, compared with an average of 2,204 across London's boroughs. Harrow Council is focusing regeneration efforts on areas such as Wealdstone and South Harrow and many new 'key service workers'-type flats are springing up. In the north part of the borough, there is a greenbelt strip of highly affluent housing in the areas of Northwood, Pinner and Stanmore. Its site on and near the greenbelt and ease of access to central London (20 minutes by train to Marylebone and 12 minutes to Euston via London Midland) makes Harrow a good place to live not only for families but affluent singles as well. Rising property prices in all London areas have helped to see a large increase in property redevelopment of its existing Edwardian and 1920s to 1940s housing stock, which in turn is attracting new residents looking for a clean, safe, and relatively green environment to live in, close to central London.
Harrow is considered a borough of "contrasts", with high levels of affluence in such areas Harrow-on-the-Hill, Pinner, and Stanmore and high levels of deprivation in Wealdstone. Save the Children reported in 2011 that over 7,000 children are living in poverty in the Borough.
Harrow is a diverse borough, having 55.2% of its population from the BME (Black and Minority Ethnic) communities, with the largest group being of Indian ethnicity. Since 2005, on the last Sunday in June Harrow Council hosts Under One Sky - Harrow's largest festival, to celebrate and the joint communities of Harrow. This has a programme of dance, world music, sports activity, youth music, spoken word, free children's activity, a carnival parade, information and stalls, health promotion, a world food zone and outside radio broadcast. Harrow is the most religiously diverse local authority area in the UK, with a 62% chance that two random people are from different religions, according to Office of National Statistics, Oct 2006. It has the highest density of Gujarati Hindus in the UK. A large number of Jewish people live in Stanmore and Hatch End. The Stanmore and Canons Park Synagogue boasts the largest membership of any single synagogue in the whole of Europe.
Nearest test centres are in Pinner, Watford, Borehamwood.
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.
Nick Ferrari set a challenge with caller Alan (from Kenton in Harrow) to take a mock driving test on air with a well established driving school in Harrow-GR8Drive and Gaz Reynolds.
Whilst on the show Gaz emphasised road safety and how our Pupils are taught safe driving skills for life in and around Harrow.
Gaz Reynolds said at the end of the interview to reporter Tom Swarbrick of LBC Radio; "I had so much fun doing the show and it gave me an opportunity to emphasise how we all have a responsibility as drivers to ensure that we keep our roads safe!"
Gaz went on to say; "The show was recorded in Harrow in busy peak hour traffic so it was a real challenge for Alan who took part in the show and took on the challenge of taking a mock driving test 27 years after he passed his original test.
