Wealdstone history

---

Wealdstone Urban District was created under the Local Government Act 1894 in 1894, and absorbed by Harrow Urban District in 1934. Much of the housing stock consists of Victorian and Edwardian terraces along with new flatted developments in High Street and George Gange Way. The Kodak Harrow factory was located in the area until its closure in 2016. The former Herga Cinema which opened in 1939 but closed in 1951 was gutted by fire in the early 1960s.

Crime and policing

In 2003, plans by the Metropolitan Police to close Wealdstone police station were met with protests. A petition against the closure received 200 signatures. The station eventually remained open, but the issue arose again in 2008 and 2011. While the station was no longer open to the public, it housed the Anti-Social Behaviour Partnership team.

Wealdstone etymology

The eponymous Weald Stone is a sarsen stone, positioned to mark the then boundary between the parishes of Harrow and Harrow Weald. It is located outside the Bombay Central restaurant, which was built as a public house.
