Parade of shops, Harrow Road, Sudbury, northwest London
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.

The least used railway station in Greater London
This is Sudbury & Harrow Road station.
On 20th November 1905 the Great Central Railway opened a new route for freight trains between Neasden Junction and Northolt Junction, and on 1st March 1906 passenger services began from High Wycombe to the Great Central's then new terminus at Marylebone. The line was built though open country, yet impressive stations were provided. However, passengers tended to opt for the parallel (now Piccadilly) line, and by 1968 the service was said to be the sparsest in London. Plans were afoot to close it between Neasden and Northolt and direct trains into Paddington, but the line has survived. Despite this it is currently the least used station in Greater London.
This is the view from the up platform. The next train in this direction is Wembley Stadium.
