Batchworth was once a village but is now a civil parish and effectively part of Rickmansworth.

Batchworth village is ancient and was originally the Anglo-Saxon Baecceswyrth.

The Grand Union Canal was built through Batchworth and Batchworth Canal Centre is alongside the Grand Union lock. The canal caused the small hamlet to urbanise and become part of Rickmansworth’s urban area. Batchworth Parish Council was created in 2017 consisting of two Three Rivers District Council wards - Rickmansworth Town and Moor Park & Eastbury.

Batchworth Lake was created by the extraction of gravel for the original Wembley Stadium and Batchworth Heath is four hectares of designated common land around the junction of Batchworth Heath Hill, Batchworth Lane and White Hill.

Polygon Buildings
Following the demolition of the Polygon, and prior to the construction of Oakshott Court in 1974, 4 tenement type blocks of flats were built on the site at Clarendon Sq/Phoenix Rd called Polygon Buildings. These were primarily for people working for the Midland Railway and subsequently British Rail. My family lived for 5 years in Block C in the 1950s. It seems that very few photos exist of these buildings.

Road construction and houses completed
New Charleville Circus road layout shown on Stanford’s Library Map Of London And Its Suburbs 1879 with access via West Hill only.

Plans showing street numbering were recorded in 1888 so we can concluded the houses in Charleville Circus were built by this date.

War damage reinstatement plans of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street
Whilst clearing my elderly Mothers house of general detritus, I’ve come across original plans (one on acetate) of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street. Might they be of interest or should I just dispose of them? There are 4 copies seemingly from the one single acetate example. Seems a shame to just junk them as the level of detail is exquisite. No worries if of no interest, but thought I’d put it out there.
