Eton College Estate was the land beneath modern Temple Fortune. The Estate, which consisted in 1828 of 315 acres, originated in grants of land by Bela, widow of Austin the mercer, in 1259 and by William de Pavely and his wife in 1273.

TUM image id: 1603121810 Licence:	Decoy Farm on the Hendon/Temple Fortune boundary was painted circa 1890 by Louise Surrey. The farmhouse was an 18th-century building, which took its name from a nearby pond used as a duck decoy. The farmland was destroyed with the building of the North Circular Road in 1925. The building was demolished in 1935. A bricked-up window in the painting indicates an attempt to reduce window taxes paid on a residence introduced in the 18th century.

It is the work of French sculptor Émile Oscar Guillaume (1867-1942) and was originally called ’La Victoire’. It depicts a naked female figure standing on tip-toe with both feet on a bronze hemisphere. She lifts her face to the sky and holds both arms aloft, with a sword in her right hand with the title ’Délivrance’ embossed on the hilt.

The Edgware extension utilised unused plans dating back to 1901 for the Edgware and Hampstead Railway (E&HR) which the UERL had taken over in 1912. It extended the CCE&HR line from its terminus at Golders Green to Edgware in two stages - to Hendon Central in 1923 and to Edgware in 1924. The line crossed undeveloped open countryside and, apart from a short tunnel north of Hendon Central station, was on the surface. Five new stations were constructed to pavilion-style designs by Stanley Heaps, stimulating the rapid northward expansion of suburban developments in the following years. In the mid 1970s, this Northern Line station was renamed Brent Cross.

The 18th century building (demolished in 1935), took its name from a nearby pond used as a duck decoy. Mutton Bridge takes its name from the brook which joins the Dollis Brook to form the River Brent. The road it carries is Bell Lane, an old route from Hampstead to Hendon via Temple Fortune.
