Momentous Birth!
I was born in the upstairs front room of 28 Tyrrell Avenue in August 1938. I was a breach birth and quite heavy ( poor Mum!). My parents moved to that end of terrace house from another rental in St Mary Cray where my three year older brother had been born in 1935. The estate was quite new in 1938 and all the properties were rented. My Father was a Postman. I grew up at no 28 all through WWII and later went to Little Dansington School

Tenant at Westbourne (1807 - 1811)
I think that the 3rd Marquess Townshend - at that time Lord Chartley - was a tenant living either at Westbourne Manor or at Bridge House. He undertook considerable building work there as well as creating gardens. I am trying to trace which house it was. Any ideas gratefully received

Late opening
The tracks through Roding Valley were opened on 1 May 1903 by the Great Eastern Railway (GER) on its Woodford to Ilford line (the Fairlop Loop).

But the station was not opened until 3 February 1936 by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER, successor to the GER).

Shhh....
Roding Valley is the quietest tube station, each year transporting the same number of passengers as Waterloo does in one day.

The deepest station
At 58m below ground, Hampstead is as deep as Nelson’s Column is tall.

Not as Central as advertised...
Hendon Central was by no means the centre of Hendon when built, being a green field site. It was built at the same time as both the North Circular Road and the A41 were built as major truck roads �’ an early example of joined up London transport planning.

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.
