Tookey Close, HARROW, HA3 9UE

Looking across a small recreation ground with no apparent name.

Fryent Country Park has been kept to show how much of Middlesex looked before the suburban expansion of London in the 1920s and 1930s. There are 23 hay meadows and seven miles of hedgerows, four woods and 20 ponds. The branch between Wembley Park and Stanmore was opened by the Metropolitan Railway in 1932. It was much harder to construct than anticipated and amongst the heavy works was the diversion of the Wealdstone Brook. It became part of the Bakerloo Line in 1939 when that line was extended from Baker Street to Finchley Road, from there taking over the Metropolitan's old slow tracks to Wembley Park before the Bakerloo continued to Stanmore. In 1979 it became part of the Jubilee Line to Charing Cross, and in 1999 was linked to Stratford by the Jubilee Line Extension. The houses in the distance are in Tookey Close, beyond a recreation ground.

Looking in the Stanmore direction. This section of line was opened in 1932 as the Stanmore branch of the Metropolitan Railway. With the expansion and rearrangement of the Underground, over the years services were transferred to the Bakerloo Line and then to the new Jubilee Line in 1979.

Technically this is Wembley Park and the area is along the railway line cut off by high metal fences around, which are also extremely hard to take photos through.
