At the beginning of the 20th century the whole Brent Cross area was a veritable moot point for waterways and sewage systems. Hendon Urban District Council had sewage farms, initially on the southbank of the Brent and later on the north. The site was closed in the 1930s, the area’s sewage being pumped down to Mogden Purification Works in Isleworth
At one point an aquaduct spanned the Brent carrying waste from Hendon to the site on the south bank of the River Brent. The viaduct ran across the Brent on what is roughly the route of the Hendon Way (A41).
