EPW029989 ENGLAND (1929). Glendale Avenue and Ranelagh Drive under construction, Edgware, 1929

More obsessive study of the houses on Google Maps earth view (see my comments about Ranelagh Drive) suggests to me that this is Hillside Gardens, not Glendale Avenue. The wide strip of land with the builders' material and the prominent large tree is the reserved route of the proposed extension of the London Underground Northern line from Edgware, now built over by Sterling Avenue, which was bounded by Glendale Avenue on the northeast and Hillside Gardens on the south west. Anyone agree or disagree?

Hi Dylan,



Thanks for this one. We'll change the catalogue and post the new data here in due course.



Interesting to see the area under development. I'm reading a book about the (doomed) Watford and Edgware Railway, the route of which is just at the bottom of the image.



Yours, Katy
