History of Greenford, Middlesex
Greenford was known as Grenan forda in Saxon times because of
a crossing of the River Brent. The first known record of it was
in a legal document in 845. In the Doomsday Book it is mentioned
three times, stating the size and population. Under the register
held by Westminster Abbey it lists nine villagers, seven small
holders, three cottages, six slaves and one Frenchman.
In the seventeenth century, two families owned the land in Greenford;
they were the Coston's and the Ravenor's. These family names can
be seen on roads and avenues within the area. George Ravenor owned
Ravenor Farm in 1899; it was sold to Ealing Borough Council in
1928. Ravenor Park opened later that year, and an old hedgerow
and a line of oak trees mark the borders of the old farm.
A census in 1901 listed 672 residents in Greenford. This was an
increase of 127 since the previous decade. The extension of the
Great Western Railway in 1904 and the industrial expansion of
Western Avenue and North Greenford brought people to the area.
As there was a need to accommodate this growing population housing
estates began to emerge. The first estate was built on the Ravenor
Park estate in 1912.
During World War Two, an industrial site in Greenford was used
as a central artillery store. In 1940 it had 21 buildings and
over 450 civilians employed there. This number grew to over 2000
by 1941, serving the South Eastern Command and the London District.
In the summer of 1944, Greenford was in danger from V-bombs with
over 100 warnings in August. In March 1945, a bomb destroyed one
of the buildings, killing 14 and injuring 110 people.
Today, Greenford offers a number of parks, a motorcycle museum
and Litten Local Nature Reserve. It is an ideal place to live
with local golf courses, leisure centres, schools and a town hall
provided for residents.
History of Perivale Middlesex
There are a few theories as to how Perivale was so named. The
most likely is that it is derived from Greenforde Parva (a locality
mentioned in the Doomsday Book, where it is described as an apple
orchard.
The word "parvais latin for small or little as in "parva
componere magnismeaning To compare small things with great ones.
An alternative, theory is that is derived from the word pear
or perry which Websters dictionary defines as "a fermented
and often effervescent beverage made from juice of pears; similar
in taste to hard cider
It is known that 2500 years ago Iron Age people settled on what
today is called Horsenden Hill as large amounts of pottery have
been discovered. In fact, In 1978 The Iron Age settlement on Horsenden
Hill was declared as an Ancient Scheduled monument by English
Heritage.
It was probably during Saxon times that the hill acquired its
name originally "Horsingdon- the last syllable don meaning
hill fortress.
Following the Norman Conquest in 1066, Geoffrey de Mandeville
was rewarded for his services to William the Conqueror with land
including Greenforde Parva.The Church of St. Mary the Virgin was
built in 1135 although the structure (now the Nave of the current
Church) was a simple barn like structure. The Chancel was added
in 1250.
During the Reformation in the reign of King Henry VIII many churches
were striped of valuable plate. During this period brasses in
the Church of St Mary the Virgin disappeared. However, one set
of brasses survived set in the floor near the altar rail. These
brasses depict the Mylett family Henry Mylett, his first wife
Alice and his second wife Joan together with their combined 15
children. Today the nearby pub is called "The Mylett Arms.
It was during the reign of Henry VIII that the locality's name
changed from Greenforde Parva to Perivale.
The first section of the Grand Junction Canal in this area (later
the Grand Union Canal) was opened in 1794. The 1 3 mile stretch
from Bull's Bridge to Paddington was started in 1797, completed
in 1801 and provided a fast route into the capital for Perivale's
main produce hay.
In 1821, the population census showed that there were only 25
inhabitants in Perivale and this had only grown to 32 in the 1851
census. Indeed Kelly's Directory records the population as 31
with 4 inhabited houses for the year 1881.
Such was the charm of the countryside that by the end of the 19th
century more and more Londoners were discovering the area. The
Great Western Railway opened a small halt at Perivale on the Paddington
to High Wycombe line and this was later developed to a conventional
station in 1908.
The 20th Century was to see dramatic changes to the area.
In the 1926 the parish of Perivale (also Greenford and West Twyford)
were brought within the London Borough of Ealing.
Following the First World War Horsenden Farm was acquired by
the Sudbury Golf Club thus signalling the end to farming being
the predominant activity. In 1929, Sanderson's Wallpaper had built
a factory on the farmland alongside Horsenden Lane and houses
were built. On the opposite side of Horsenden Lane, a housing
estate and small factory were built.
One of the most significant development to affect the area was
the building of a highway westwards out of London - The Western
Avenue (now A40 dual carriageway). Alongside this highway new
factories were being built typically in Art Deco style.
Church Farm was bought by Hoovers the manufacturer of vacuum cleaners and in 1931 - 1935 the world famous Hoover Building (now Grade I listed) was constructed. It was also at this time that Manor Farm disappeared to become a factory estate. The new Bilton Road was built from Horsenden Lane South through to Manor Farm Road surrounded by residential housing - typically 1930's semi-detached and terraced houses.
