The Ionic Cinema was built in the early days of Golders Green's suburban development.

In 1975 the original 1913 built Ionic Cinema was demolished and a supermarket built on the site with the new Ionic Cinema (around half the number of seats as the original) on the 1st floor level. The New Ionic Cinema opened on 25th August 1975 with “The Four Musketeers”.

Designed by the architectural firm George Coles and Company, it was taken over by the Cannon Group in 1986 and re-named Cannon Ionic. In 1997 it was taken over by ABC Cinemas and re-named ABC Ionic from November 1997.

It remained a single screen until closure on 30th September 1999 with Tom Cruise in “Eyes Wide Shut”.

The former cinema has become a supermarket and off licence.

Frank Whipple Place, E14
Frank was my great-uncle, I’d often be ’babysat’ by Peggy while Nan and Dad went to the pub. Peggy was a marvel, so full of life. My Dad and Frank didn’t agree on most politics but everyone in the family is proud of him. A genuinely nice, knowledgable bloke. One of a kind.

My 2 x great grandparents and his family lived here according to the 1841 census. They were Dutch Ashkenazi Jews born in Amsterdam at the beginning of the 19th century but all their children were born in Spitalfields.

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

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.

A map a day for the month of May - the villages of Golders Green and Hendon. This map, while published in 1908, had been overtaken by events and was out of date. The arrival of the Hampstead Tube (Northern Line) at Golders Green coincided with an explosion of house building. This new housing soon reached the River Brent. Likewise, Hampstead Garden Suburb was under way by 1908.

Constructing Golders Green station (1906) Taken from atop the tunnel entrance, it’s interesting to see the development in anticipation of the station. Most of the other pre-opening shots from just a year before show a rural crossroads.
