Christine Bithrey Holly Park, N4 Added: 15 Oct 2023 15:20 GMT	The Hollies (1860 - 1900) I lived in Holly Park Estate from 1969 I was 8 years old when we moved in until I left to get married, my mother still lives there now 84. I am wondering if there was ever a cemetery within The Hollies? And if so where? Was it near to the Blythwood Road end or much nearer to the old Methodist Church which is still standing although rather old looking. We spent most of our childhood playing along the old dis-used railway that run directly along Blythwood Road and opposite Holly Park Estate - top end which is where we live/ed. We now walk my mothers dog there twice a day. An elderly gentleman once told me when I was a child that there used to be a cemetery but I am not sure if he was trying to scare us children! I only thought about this recently when walking past the old Methodist Church and seeing the flag stone in the side of the wall with the inscription of when it was built late 1880 If anyone has any answers please email me [email protected] Reply

Twickenham

Twickenham is a suburban district situated on the River Thames some 16km southwest of Charing Cross.

The historic riverside area has a network of 18th-century buildings and pleasure grounds, many of which have survived.

Twickenham is the English home of the Rugby Football Union, with hundreds of thousands of spectators visiting Twickenham Stadium each year.

This area has three mansions with public access: York House, Marble Hill and Strawberry Hill House.

Historically part of Middlesex, Twickenham has formed part of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames since 1965

The first Twickenham station was built by the London and Windsor Railway on the west of London Road bridge, opening on 22 August 1848 and originally called Twickenham Junction.

On 28 March 1954, a completely rebuilt station came into use with three through tracks.
