This is probably the clearest image of the mysterious tanks set into the ground. Situated just to the east of the line of Highcroft Avenue, it is later described as being 'behind' the Heather Park Hotel.

H J Heinz & Co Ltd. Had a site here from 1919. Had lengthy wharfage, and railway sidings from Willesden yards.

No, Heinz was the large factory over to the left on the other side of the railway sidings. I think the buildings that you have marked was the Steinway piano works.

This must be the first factory to be built on the Northfields Trading Estate. The straightened River Brent runs behind it. The Ace Café does not seem to be in existence yet!

This bridge (now demolished) carried a siding line which turned through 90 degrees and finished at buffers not far from the back alleys of Kenmere and Beresford. The buffers were eventually removed, maybe in the 1950s. There may have been a World War I ammunitions factory which used the siding, but this has not been proved by research.

I think that he nearest WW1 munitions factories were in Park Royal.



I believe that there was a trench warfare training establishment centred on Alperton Hall (now the site of Alperton Park Community School). I understand that this site was associated with the Trench Warfare Experimental Dept., nearby at Wembley Park.

The 1934 Grand Union Canal Paddington Arm aqueduct. It was constructed to pass over the newly built North Circular Road. The earth for the embankment came from Horsenden Hill close to the part of the canal which has Sudbury Golf Course on one side.
