This leafy English landscape with its common, village green, ponds and idyllic rural walks was in earlier times the hunting grounds of royalty. Now it is home to famous and discerning residents who appreciate its perfect combination of country charm and proximity to central London. This is country living at its best without leaving town. As its name suggests, Totteridge lies on a ridge between the valleys of the Dollis Brook and Folly Brook with spectacular views over London. In past centuries the surrounding meadowlands provided rich grazing for local livestock and the hay to feed London’s horses. Many of these beautiful meadows are still in evidence today. Gentlemen farmers grew wealthy providing for London’s needs and used their profits to create several notable estates with elegant manors set in their own parklands. With the coming of the railway in 1872 graceful Victorian and Edwardian mansion houses were built around the old village.

  • Irina Porter, Uncovering Kilburn's History: Part 7
    Uncovering Kilburn’s History – Part 7 Thank you for joining me again for the final part of this Kilburn local history series. 1. New flats in Cambridge Road, opposite Granville Road Baths, c.1970. (Brent Archives online image 10127) In Part 6 we saw the major rebuilding that took place, particularly in South Kilburn, between the late 1940s and the 1970s. Many of the workers on the building sites were Irish. The new wave of Irish immigration to Northwest London, which reached its peak in the 1950s, was quickly transforming the area. As well as abundant work, Kilburn offered plenty of cheap accommodation, and a bustling High Road with cultural and eating establishments, many of them catering for the Irish population, who soon represented a majority in the area. ‘County Kilburn’ was dubbed Ireland’s 33rd county. 2. Kilburn's Irish culture – an Irish Festival poster and Kilburn Gaels hurling team. (From the internet) The Irish community, close-knit and mutually supportive, hit the headlines in the negative way in the 1970s, when Kilburn became a focal point for “the Troubles” in London. On 8 June 1974, an estimated 3,000 came out onto the streets of Kilburn for the funeral procession of Provisional IRA member Michael Gaughan. An Irishman, who had lived in Kilburn, Gaughan was imprisoned for an armed bank robbery in 1971 and in 1974 died as the result a hunger strike. Gaughan’s coffin, accompanied by an IRA guard of honour, was taken from the Crown at Cricklewood through Kilburn to the Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart in Quex Road, before being flown to Dublin for another ceremony and funeral.
