The extension of the underground railway to Edgware in the 1920s involved the construction of a major viaduct to take the tracks over the valley of the River Brent. The viaduct starts here in Elmcroft Crescent and, apart from the embanked section around Image runs for about 700 metres to Shirehall Lane and Martin's Image It is evident from old Ordnance Survey maps that the railway cut a swathe through the existing housing estates, and that then fairly new residences in Elmscroft Crescent, Montpelier Rise and Woodstock Avenue must have been demolished to make way for it.
