Harlesden history

---

Harlesden was once a small rural community set in orchards with some inns. The Domesday Book calls it “Hervlvestvne” In the 19th century the village began to develop some of its urban appearance with the arrival of the railways. Industrial growth led to a middle class exodus as the area turned entirely into a working class area.
