West Harrow Recreation Ground
West Harrow Recreation Ground dates from between the two World Wars but many of its its trees predate the park layout. The area was predominantly rural before the arrival of the railway brought housing development. The Metropolitan Railway extended the line from Harrow-on-the-Hill to Uxbridge in 1904. Traffic was at first extremely disappointing. West Harrow halt was opened on 17th November 1913 as a response to house building west of Bessborough Road which had begun in about 1905. Within three years it was handling 40,000 passengers a month. As housing grew up the park was provided for the new residential population. The houses in the distance are in Drury Road.

Old Ordnance Survey maps available online show this whole area as open fields right up to the Edition of 1920. The Metropolitan Railway was the first significant development across the agricultural land and the Recreation Ground first appears, in a currently available online map, in the Edition of 1935.
