North Acton: Nash House

Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 26 Sep 2010

Nash House is a former 1960s office building which has been unoccupied for several years and has fallen into a bad state of disrepair with broken windows, evidence of a fire on the upper floors, and with internal fittings strewn across the former car park. Plans have been submitted to demolish the existing building and replace it with a similar sized mixed use, but primarily student accommodation, building. The 1893 Ordnance Survey map shows this to have been the site of the Willesden Paper & Canvas Works, while by the time that the 1935 Edition was published the same old paper works building was being described as Willesden Works (Brass Foundry).
