The block of maisonettes behind the post box on the corner of Woodridings Close have been built on the site of the former Hatch End Library. As a historical note, the library premises were single storey, surrounded by gardens and the site was cleared due to Harrow Council declaring the building to be unsafe for continued public use. The former library was popular and well used in the 1950's and 1960's; replacement premises for the library have been found about three quarters of a mile to the east in the former Royal Commercial Travellers' School site on the south side of Uxbridge Road.
