Harefield Road has been the main road leading northeast out of Uxbridge since the eighteenth century or before.

Beyond Uxbridge and the Western Avenue, Harefield Road leads ultimately to the village mentioned in its name.

Harefield Road - in its section beyond the A40 - was a proposed Underground station on the branch of the Central line beyond its West Ruislip terminus set up due to the 1935–1940 New Works programme.

The station would have been built alongside the existing Great Western tracks between West Ruislip and Denham as the penultimate station on the Central line extension.

The construction of the station was intended to stimulate new housing development but, after the Second World War, green belt legislation was introduce. The area beyond West Ruislip fell within this area and so the extension beyond West Ruislip was cancelled.

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.
