Wood Way. Before the 20th century the Northwood Gravel Pits were a major source of gravel for mending local roads. The gravel was described as "worked out" in 1898, but the area was saved from development by being designated a public amenity in commemoration of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee of 1897. In 1905 the site was formally conveyed to the Ruislip-Northwood Urban District Council. Woodland took over but after many years of neglect the site was restored in the early years of the 21st century with the creation of new paths and improving the biodiversity amongst other actions.

Now burnt down

Activists from CAMRA (The Campaign for Real Ale) are currently warning that almost five pubs in London are permanently closed each week. This is the burnt out shell of the former True Lovers Knot PH on Rickmansworth Road. The London Borough of Hillingdon's Tourism website has a photo of the pub in its heyday here http://www.hillingdon.gov.uk/general/travel/photo_library/detail.php?pic=125 Update March 2008: The pub has now been demolished and the land is now a construction site.
