A short history of HA8

Edgware is an Old English name that refers to a weir belonging to a man called Ecgi and appears in records of the 970s as Aegces wer. The Domesday Book of 1086 makes no mention of Edgware, though Edgwarebury Farm was a manorial centre by 1216. Edgware Road follows the line of the Roman Watling Street and a turnpike trust improved it in 1711. The Duke of Chandos built Cannons in nearby Little Stanmore around 1713. On 4 February 1735 Dick Turpin and his gang broke into Earlsbury Farm. Burnt Oak takes its name from a field recorded in 1754 that held an oak burned by lightning. Hendon Union Workhouse was built there in 1838 and the Middlesex Freehold Land Society laid out its first streets in 1853. A railway reached Edgware in 1867. Tube stations opened in 1924 and housing followed, including the Watling Estate, first occupied in April 1927. Of 19 listed buildings nearby the Church of St Lawrence is Grade I and 18 are Grade II.
