Swyncombe Avenue edit

"A small section of Northfields lies within the London Borough of Hounslow."

Would this be Swyncombe Avenue by any chance? It's in the borough of Hounslow, it's in W5 - and it runs along the south side of Blondin Park. Bluebird207 (talk) 15:29, 12 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

As postcodes disrepect a bit the ancient parishes (and the borough boundary too here), yes, but only the north-eastern one third of the Avenue was in the ancient parish of Ealing, the rest was in Brentford, specifically Brentford proper not New Brentford which was instigated along the Boston Manor area at the end of the road. Why not look here, the National Library of Scotland has all the old maps.

Northfield Avenue edit

"By the mid-17th century, Northfields Road as it was first called," - is there any evidence that it was first called Northfields Road? The earliest maps I've been able to find have the road as "North Field Lane" Steveninealing (talk) 23:15, 28 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
