The farm buildings can be seen in a sketch dated 1865 which says that a farm lay “nearly opposite the ’Old Red Lion’ Edgware Road, Paddington, and immediately adjoining Verry’s Brewery.” The path seen in front of the barn led on to Willesden.
The areas of Kilburn on the Willesden side of the Edgware Road belonged to the manors of Bounds, Brondesbury and Mapesbury – they were all the property of St Paul’s Cathedral.
