If you are interested in the history of the area in which you were brought up, this section has some historical information about:

• a number of major streets
• local bus routes
• the shops that once comprised our local parades
• finally, there are a few parish magazines from the 1940s - two from St John’s, Stanmore and one from St Lawrence’s, Whitchurch Lane.

Harrow Highways

In the 1970s local historian Ronald S Brown produced a dozen paperback volumes on the history of a number of areas around our school.  Rona Clayton, John Clayton’s mum (lived in Bush Grove), purchased a couple of volumes at the time, and subsequently a few more have been procured (second-hand).  The contents pages of these five volumes can be accessed below.

The contents of the volumes are still within copyright, so only a limited number of pages can be offered on this site (- click on the underlined links).
