A short history of UB6

Greenford was recorded in 848 as Grenan forda, from Old English words for a green ford and was called Great Greenford to set it apart from Little Greenford, later Perivale. St Mary's Church in Perivale dates to at least the early thirteenth century. Farming there goes back to the fourteenth century. In the fifteenth century Henry Myllett commissioned Perivale Manor, which was demolished around 1784. The name Pyryvale first appears in 1508 and combines pear tree with a wide valley. Wheat dominated from the sixteenth century until the Paddington Branch of the Grand Union Canal opened in 1801 and hay for London took over. William Perkin discovered the first aniline dye, mauveine, at his North Greenford factory in March 1856. J. Lyons and Co. opened a factory in July 1921 and the Hoover Building, now Grade II* listed, followed in 1932. Five listed buildings include the Grade I Parish Church of the Holy Cross (Old Church).
