Modernist block by Wembley Fire Station
There is one either side of the fire station, all part of the original development and still in use today looking similar to original, although they have used double glazing it is the correct style based on the previous type.

St John's Churchyard, Wembley
St John's is the parish church of Wembley and is situated off Wembley High Road and within a short walk of the town centre. As the inhabitants of Wembley were ministered to by the parson of Harrow Church, there was felt to be no need for a church at Wembley until its population had increased sufficiently. Eventually St John's was built in the 1840s to a design by Sir George Gilbert Scott. It was consecrated on 30th June 1846. In the churchyard lies Sir William Perkin, born in 1838 and one of the greatest organic chemists of his time. He developed the first completely fast mauve dye, which he manufactured at a small factory in Greenford. Helped by the fact that mauve was Queen Victoria's favourite colour, his fortune was made. He retired at 35.
The relatively large churchyard presents the atmosphere of a country churchyard, yet is only 250 metres from Wembley Central station. This view looks past a monument which just has the name "Peggy" on this side with "Harry" on the other side - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4215978
