Something new (3): Harrow-on-the-Hill
I love discovering new things or visiting new places in my home city of London where I have lived now for almost 40 years.
For 26 of those years, I’ve lived at the foot of Harrow-on-the-Hill and often go for walks up the hill for some exercise. Today, for the first time, I went on a conducted walking tour of the Hill when Jonathan Edwards of the Harrow Hill Trust showed some of the quirkier features of the area.
These ranged from a double-sided clock that has 1942 on one side and 1946 on the other (the dates between which the building was used by officials for war purposes) to the smallest house in Middlesex (59 West Street occupied by a very tall man).
