IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Lyric Drive, GREENFORD, UB6 9HQ

Ravenor Park is a small park in Greenford, in the outer suburbs of west London. This image was taken on a dull day in early Spring 2023. Most of the trees were still bare from the winter season.

Located on the corner of Ruislip Road and Mansell Road. When built it was probably named as many shopping parades were but I could not find any sign of a name on the exterior when I passed. It has a general feel that it's just that little too far from The Broadway now and the number of closed shops is evidence of that.

One of Ealing Borough's smaller parks. It has recently received funding for improvements to paths and play and exercise equipment.

Ravenor Park was formerly agricultural land forming part of Ravenor Farm and Costons Farm. Both farms were named after local families. In the 20th century, Greenford gradually transformed from a rural village to a large suburb, including a number of factories. A wave of speculative building followed in the 1920s and 1930s. To preserve some open space, in 1927 Greenford Urban District Council (now Ealing Council) bought a parcel of farmland and turned part of it into a council depot and the rest into a public park. The park opened in October 1928 and was originally known as Costons Farm Recreation Ground, but later changed its name to Ravenor Park. The old farmhouse for Ravenor Farm remained on site until the early 1970s when it became too costly to maintain and was demolished.
