Rayners Lane: Newton Farm Ecology Park
Hidden away behind the flats on the east side of Alexandra Avenue, (visible over the trees here), is Newton Farm Ecology Park. This was originally haymaking farmland and then a Victorian sewage farm, and is marked as such on the OS 1940s mapping. A remnant of this area, alongside The Roxbourne brook, was not been built over during the suburban sprawl that followed the arrival of the Metropolitan railway line. Today the area is managed to try to bring back various species of wildlife that have disappeared. This is the pond with its small reed bed. A large part of the area of the ecology park is also designed to be a flood storage area in case The Roxbourne bursts its banks.

Rayners Lane: Alexandra Avenue flats
This is one of several blocks of 1950s council-owned flats set back on the eastern side of Alexandra Avenue. The road name plate with the "No through road" symbol shows the way to Learner Drive, so-named as the houses along it were built on the site of the former Harrow Driving Centre.
