Windsor Street Uxbridge

The Fig Tree pub on the right used to be the Police Station. Uxbridge was an important market town and coaching stop in the past, with many fine old buildings. Unfortunately it suffered in the 1960s from redevelopment which can best be described as vandalism and most of the old buildings have disappeared, with the town consequently losing its character. Windsor Street is one of the few remaining old parts of the town. The scene is marred by the office building in the distance, which is typical of modern Uxbridge.
