Cricklewood History
Cricklewood has a rich and varied history, dating back to Roman times when it was a small settlement on the Edgware Road. In the 19th century, the area began to develop as a result of the expansion of the railway network. The Midland Railway Company built a large locomotive depot and marshalling yard in Cricklewood, which led to a significant increase in the local population and the construction of new housing.
During the early 20th century, Cricklewood became a hub for the emerging British film industry, with several studios operating in the area. The most famous of these was the Cricklewood Studios, which produced many successful films and employed notable actors and directors. The studios eventually closed in the 1930s, but their legacy lives on in the area’s history.
Cricklewood also played a significant role in the development of the aviation industry, with the Handley Page Aircraft Company establishing a factory in the area during World War I. The factory produced aircraft for both military and civilian use until it closed in the 1960s.
