Entrance to Uxbridge Common
Uxbridge Common is typical of the traditional village common in its layout and includes a pond, a network of ditches and tree planting around the edges. The pond in the north-west corner is home to Great-Crested Newts - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5673638 This is the entrance at the south-east corner.
The Common is a fragment of remnant heath, meaning a small area of heathland remaining after the main part, which historically would have covered the surrounding area, no longer exists. There is a larger area on current Ordnance Maps marked as Uxbridge Common to the east, bounded by Park Road, the Metropolitan line and the A40. This can also be seen on Ordnance Maps from the turn of the 20th century, although at that time neither the railway nor the A40 existed here - see http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=15&lat=51.5533&lon=-0.4743&layers=B000000000TFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Uxbridge Belmont Road Underground station (site), Greater London
Opened in 1904 by the Metropolitan Railway as the terminus of the line from Harrow, this station closed in 1938 when it was replaced by the current Underground station, which is a terminus for the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines.
View north east towards the former forecourt - the building was situated between the trolley park and the main building, with the running lines immediately behind it. The buffer stops would have been extreme left on this image.
Like 55% of the Underground network, this part is actually overground.

Uxbridge Lido
Mothballed, derelict, and deserted in 2002, the 1935 Grade II listed art deco open air swimming pool is the subject of ambitious refurbishment plans by the London Borough of Hillingdon.
