Old maps show that by 1896 this was mostly farmland; only the south side of Harrow Road (nearest the camera) had a number of properties. By 1914 the Great Central Railway had a station here. By 1935 the whole area was a residential suburb; the railway had become the London and North Eastern Railway. The view is from a London-bound Chiltern train passing Sudbury and Harrow Road station. The side road, right, is Elton Avenue.
