Southall history
Southall formed part of the chapelry of Norwood in the ancient parish of Hayes, in the Elthorne hundred of the historic county of Middlesex. For Poor Law it was grouped into the Uxbridge Union and was within Uxbrid Rural Sanitary District from 1875. On 16 January 1891 the parish adopted the Local Government Act 1858. In 1894 it became the Southall Norwood Urban District. In 1936 the urban district was granted a charter of incorporation and became a municipal borough.
19th century
The Grand Junction Canal opened in 1796 as the major freight transport route between London and Birmingham . The arrival of Brunel’s Great Western Railway in 1839 led to the establishment and growth of brick factories, flour mills and chemical plants . The Martin Brothers set up a ceramics factory in 1877 in an old soap works next to the canal .
20th century
The old parish church of Southall, St John’s, was found to be too small for its congregation and emigrated to a new building in Church Avenue, which was completed in 1910 . The original church building, in Western Road, is now a youth centre .
