Early times
Initially, Brondesbury and mapesbury was part of St. Paul's cathedral in the old age as well as Willesden region of kilburm. Mapsbury is located south of Brondesbury currently known as brand's manor and north of Willesden, originally known as mapes.
Gentrified township
For a long time in history, the area was a rural set up. In 1847, some houses were built in Brondesbury on Willesden Lane. The hilly nature of Brondesbury made it suitable for the building of greater quality housing. Actually, the development of new suburban began in 1860 in Willesden where bigger villas were constructed in Brondesbury. These villas were used to serve as hostels for refugees of the First World War, especially the Belgian.
Mill of Mapesbury
A mill which was destroyed by fire in 1863 in Mapesbury still stood. It was from this incident which led to the formation of Kilburn volunteer fire services. Later, the first modern parish within Willesden original parish, Christchurch Paris was formed in 1866 in Brondesbury.
The twist of the 20th century
At the beginning of the 20th century, housing market in the western suburbs of Brondesbury declined until 1920. This made the construction of Brondesbury manor house to stop until 1934 and explains why there were no uniformity in development in Mapesbury and Brondesbury. Shortly after 1901 some houses were built in the northern regions of the metropolitan railways. However, Mapesbury house situated in the southern part of the metropolitan survived the low housing market until 1924.
Trellick Tower
This is one of the famous landmarks towering over Golborne Road. Although hated and loved by the residents in the same manner, its grade II nature shields it from all spoiling acts. Trellick tower is an example of the brutalist architecture loved in the sixties. Actually, it has experienced a lot of social problem due to its high rise concrete block, but Trellick Tower still stand tall.
Goldfinger design
Erno Goldfinger is the architect. He may sound like a Bond movie villain, because the architect was used by author Ian Fleming to name one of his characters. This could not make Goldfinger happy. Nonetheless, Goldfinger has had a great impact on London landscape. He designed the famous Metro Central Heights formally known as the Alexander flaming house at Castle and Elephant, and Balfron Tower in Tower Hamlets. It was from these towers where Goldfinger got the design which he later used to improve Trellick Tower.
