Newton Park (West) consists of open space either side of The Roxbourne river which was left when the adjacent post-war council housing was built. The Roxbourne, which is its main feature, is also known as the eastern arm of the Yeading Brook. It rises near North Harrow and converges with the Yeading Brook in Ruislip on the southern side of Western Avenue. This in turn flows into the River Crane which reaches the Thames at Isleworth. See http://www.londonslostrivers.com/yeading-brook.html for more information and photographs of The Roxbourne. In this view The Roxbourne is on the right while the Parish Church of St Andrew Roxbourne can be seen across Malvern Avenue. The church was opened in October 1957. Its full history can be read at http://www.standrewsroxbourne.org.uk/our-values/history/
