Urban District boundaries are indicated by the dotted lines. The area in the southern-western part of the map is in Greenford Urban District, to the east is Wembley Urban District and the north-western area of the map is Harrow-on-the-Hill Urban District. In March 1900 Harrow-on-the-Hill UD presented a memorial to the Middlesex County Council seeking to ‘tidy up’ the boundary with Wembley by annexing 3.7 acres of land. The portions of Wembley at issue can be seen as a ‘detached’, triangular-shaped parcel of land and a slim ‘finger’ straddling west and east of the Greenford Road. The application was “strenuously opposed” by Wembley UDC.

Urban District boundaries are indicated by the dotted lines. The map shows the northern apex of the ‘intrusion’ of Northolt Parish (Uxbridge Rural District) towards Harrow-on-the-Hill. The properties marked ‘Bella Vista’ and ‘Albert Lodge’ lie wholly within Northolt Parish; the boundary runs through land associated with other properties such as ‘Oakhurst’ and ‘Corran’. It can be seen that there was no direct road access to properties in Mount Park Road and South Hill Avenue without first travelling on roads in Harrow-on-the-Hill Urban District. The road in the extreme north-west of the map is Northolt Road (adjacent to the junction with Sherwood Road). In June 1898 Harrow-on-the-Hill UDC presented a memorial to the Middlesex County Council seeking to transfer this land but was met with opposition from Northolt Parish Council and Uxbridge RDC. It was not until the abolition of Northolt Parish in October 1928 that the area finally transferred to Harrow-on-the-Hill UD.

Urban District boundaries are indicated by the dotted lines. The land in the south-eastern portion of the map is in Wembley Urban District and shows the proximity of the boundary to modern-day central Harrow — Wembley’s boundary almost reaches Peterborough Hill. To the north-east is territory within Wealdstone Urban District and shows the boundary with Wembley along the Kenton Road. The site of Sheepcote Farm is now occupied by Northwick Park Hospital; the eastern portion of Gayton Road, yet to be built within Wealdstone’s boundaries, is farmland. The Harrow School playing fields to the west of Sheepcote Road (now Watford Road) transferred to the new Urban District of Harrow in 1934.

Urban District boundaries are indicated by the dotted lines. The map illustrates the complicated boundaries in the Hindes Road region. The southern portion of the map is part of Harrow-on-the-Hill Urban District, while the area within Wealdstone Urban District is clear from the map’s labelling. Pinner Parish of Hendon Rural District intrudes from the north-west, the erratic boundary with Wealdstone being marked by the letters ‘BS’ (boundary stones). Hindes Road has not been labelled; Dirty Lane has yet to be renamed Elmgrove Road. The field with the legend ‘Greenhill Farm’ is now largely occupied by a Tesco supermarket, while the ‘Safari’ cinema fronts Station Road.

Urban District and parish boundaries are indicated by the dotted lines. The extract shows the erratic western boundary of Wealdstone Urban District with the Harrow Weald and Pinner Parishes of Hendon Rural District. The boundary crosses the London and North-Western Railway three times before heading south and then south-east towards Headstone Drive. The Kodak factory would expand in later years over the boundary with Pinner Parish so as to occupy (together with the HMSO press) much of the triangle of land described by the railway, Headstone Drive and Harrow View. The boundary between Harrow Weald and Pinner can be seen in the north-western corner of the map. See: https://maps.nls.uk/index.html https://maps.nls.uk/view/101454835 19 .
