High Street is the main shopping steet of Hampton Wick.

Hampton Wick was formerly a village on the Thames.

It was dominated by market gardening until well into the twentieth century. Its development was confined by Bushy Park and Hampton Court Park to its west, and the river to its east.

Kingston Bridge, the first bridge linking the High Street with Kingston upon Thames dates from about 1219 and replaced a Roman ford.

The architect Edward Lapidge designed a church, St John’s Hampton Wick, built in 1831.

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 connection with Bletchley Park
The code-breaking computer used at Bletchley Park was built in Dollis Hill.

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