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 environments
In 1847, Brondesbury was still a rural area with a few houses which were mainly built on Willesden lane. Being located in the hill, it facilitated the building of better quality housing. However, in 1860 Willesden suburban development was initiated, particularly the larger villas in Brondesbury. These villas were very important during First World War as most of them were turned into hostels to serve Belgium refugees.
Mapesbury mill
In 1963 a mill standing in Mapesbury was destroyed by fire. It was due to this fire that led to the formation of Kilburn's volunteer fire services. In 1966 a new parish within Willesden parish, the parish of Christchurch, was formed in Brondesbury.
The 20th century
Shortly after 1901 the metropolitan railway to the north paves way for the building of houses. You will realise that there was a depression of housing market in the beginning of the 20th century which led to no building in the western region of Brondesbury until 1934. However, Mapsbury house located in southern part of the metropolitan region, survived until 1924. That is why Mapesbury was built later than Brondesbury.
Trellick Tower
Trellick tower is the most famous landmark soaring over Golborne road. It is the most loved and hated in equal measure, but still stand tall today and protected from any force due to its nature. Trellick tower being the main example of brutalist architecture allowed in 1960s, but has experienced any sort of social problems that can be related with high rise concrete blocks.
Goldfinger
This may sound as some villain in the Bond movie to most people because author Ian Fleming named one of his characters after Erno Goldfinger. Actually, Goldfinger was not a jovial character in Fleming movie. Despite the opinion of Fleming on Goldfinger, the architect is still remembered because of the significant impacts he made on London landscaping. He designed metro central heights formally known as Alexander Fleming house, Balform Tower at elephant and castle and Tower Hamlets respectively. This was where Goldfinger got the idea to improve the Trellick Tower.
Goldfinger Modern home
Goldfinger designed this home for himself and his family. The home is situated at 2 willow road in Hampstead. Currently, it is owned by national trust and can only be opened to the public on limited days.
