More about this scene

Just a century ago a great deal of lonely countryside remained around Kenton, which lies on the road to Harrow. The area is now urbanised; but an Edwardian commentator remarked that it was quite possible to walk Kenton's field paths and never see a soul.

My family moved into the kenton area some sixty years ago, i lived there until i moved to Hayes when i got married Twenty years later and didnt visit until ten years ago when i went by bus to the Hyde ( Edgeware road) i was both shocked, saddened and dismayed by how seedy looking the whole kenton/kingsbury corridor is now and how quickly the whole area has gone downhill in the short time since i moved away.
