Stonebridge was named after a stone bridge built in the late 17th century (when most bridges were of wood) over the River Brent.

The exclusive Craven Park Estate, consisting of large houses, was built in the Stonebridge area during the 1860s, along with the construction of the Dudding Hill Line by the Midland Railway. The estate failed to become an up-market suburb due to the general expansion of London, increasing industry, and the building of low-quality, cheap housing. As a result, Stonebridge became a low-income area, and in the 1960s and 1970s, the Stonebridge Estate was built, consisting of more than 2000 mostly high-rise units.

Some improvements were made in the early 1990s as a result of government funding, but the area continued to face significant social issues. The most significant improvements occurred after 2000, with the comprehensive redevelopment of the 1960s and 1970s housing, resulting in a traditional street layout of two- and three-story houses, often with four-story flats around street junctions.

Stonebridge is geographically adjacent to the Park Royal industrial estate, but it is mostly cut off from it by the West Coast Main Line railway tracks.

Polygon Buildings
Following the demolition of the Polygon, and prior to the construction of Oakshott Court in 1974, 4 tenement type blocks of flats were built on the site at Clarendon Sq/Phoenix Rd called Polygon Buildings. These were primarily for people working for the Midland Railway and subsequently British Rail. My family lived for 5 years in Block C in the 1950s. It seems that very few photos exist of these buildings.

Road construction and houses completed
New Charleville Circus road layout shown on Stanford’s Library Map Of London And Its Suburbs 1879 with access via West Hill only.

Plans showing street numbering were recorded in 1888 so we can concluded the houses in Charleville Circus were built by this date.

War damage reinstatement plans of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street
Whilst clearing my elderly Mothers house of general detritus, I’ve come across original plans (one on acetate) of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street. Might they be of interest or should I just dispose of them? There are 4 copies seemingly from the one single acetate example. Seems a shame to just junk them as the level of detail is exquisite. No worries if of no interest, but thought I’d put it out there.
