"Hillingdon: A Glimpse into the Past" Step back in time to the year 1915, where Hillingdon's High Street in Uxbridge, London, England was bustling with life. The vibrant street was filled with shops and people going about their daily routines. Fast forward to circa 1935, Station Road in West Drayton became a hub of activity. The road was lined with charming buildings and served as a vital transportation link for the community. In that same year, we catch a glimpse of Northwood from the railway bridge. The view showcases the picturesque beauty of this London suburb during its earlier days. On June 1st, 1934, Park Court on Park Road in Uxbridge stood as an architectural gem. Its elegant design and well-manicured gardens were admired by all who passed by. Dating back even further to around 1820 is Hillingdon House located in Middlesex. This grand estate exuded timeless elegance and represented an era long gone but not forgotten. Hillingdon House continued to leave its mark on history when it moved to London at some point. Its relocation symbolized change while preserving its rich heritage. Circa 1960 saw Norman Reeves showroom and garage grace High Street in Uxbridge. This establishment catered to automobile enthusiasts and showcased sleek designs that captivated passersby. Bell Yard held its own charm during circa 1935 as it nestled within Uxbridge's streetscape. It provided a quaint escape from city life while still being conveniently located near other amenities. Meanwhile, Evelyns School underwent construction in Yiewsley during 1935—a testament to growth and progress within education for future generations. However, progress sometimes meant making sacrifices like demolishing Bell Yard for a new station—this occurred on August 19th, 1932—in order to improve transportation infrastructure throughout Uxbridge and beyond. Not all scenes captured the grandeur of buildings.
