Vicker Road
The road ’Vickers Road’ is numbered rather differently to other roads in the area as it was originally built as housing for the "Vickers" arms factory in the late 1800’s and early 1900s. Most of the houses still retain the original 19th century tiling and drainage outside of the front doors.

Frank Whipple Place, E14
Frank was my great-uncle, I’d often be ’babysat’ by Peggy while Nan and Dad went to the pub. Peggy was a marvel, so full of life. My Dad and Frank didn’t agree on most politics but everyone in the family is proud of him. A genuinely nice, knowledgable bloke. One of a kind.

My 2 x great grandparents and his family lived here according to the 1841 census. They were Dutch Ashkenazi Jews born in Amsterdam at the beginning of the 19th century but all their children were born in Spitalfields.

Forty Farm, Wembley Forty Farm was situated where the Sudbury to Kingsbury road crossed the Lidding at Forty Bridge. In the 14th or 15th centuries, people, including the Uxendon family from Uxendon Farm, moved south to form another small community at Forty Green. This settlement was known as Uxendon Forty, Wembley Forty or Preston Forty. The farm at Forty Green was at first called Pargrave’s and later South Forty Farm. London’s growing need for hay meant that Forty Farm had converted to hay farming by 1852 and indeed was noted for its horses. The construction of the Metropolitan Railway in 1880 effectively destroyed Forty Green, although South Forty Farm continued into the 20th century. In 1928 the farm became the headquarters of the Century Sports Ground. The ground was built over after 1931. Housing spread along Preston Road and Preston Hill in the three years that followed.

Barn Hill area (1900) This map is a response to a user idea based on a previous map featuring 1900 Wembley Park (6 May) and a request to feature the area just a little to the left/west of that one. So this is 1900 Barn Hill and surroundings. For reference to the previous map, Blackbird Hill Farm at the top of Blackbird Hill is now bottom right, as is St Andrew’s Kingsbury. The tiny village of Preston is situated at the top left. The road leading south from it is called Preston Road and where it crosses the tracks of the Metropolitan Railway is the site of the future Preston Road station. This station was at first only a halt, built because of the staging of the shooting competitions of the 1908 London Olympics at Uxendon Farm. It allowed competitors to get to the grounds which stretched up Barn Hill from Uxendon. The now-busy Forty Lane runs along the southern edge of the map. Other important modern roads such as Fryent Way didn’t exist, even as former paths.

Clay pigeon shooting at Uxendon, 1908 By 1900, Uxendon Farm had become a shooting ground (the Lancaster Shooting Club). When the Olympic Games were held in London in 1908 the ground was sufficiently important to be used for Olympic clay pigeon shooting. Pressure from the shooting club, which was a two mile walk from the nearest station (Wembley Park), played a part in the opening of Preston Road Halt in May 1908.
