The Weald Stone by Wealdstone Inn near Harrow and Wealdstone Station, NW London

This is supposedly the original weald stone out side the Wealdstone Inn.

This Harrow heritage plaque on the front wall of the inn explains the history.

Unfortunately the pub is now boarded up awaiting new tenants. The Harrovian Toastmasters club used to meet here. Harrovian means related to Harrow.

A few steps from the Wealdstone Inn are Waitrose supermarket, Homebase, a drive in fast food place, as well as ethnic restaurants.

Look closely at the inn walls and you'll see that it has fine brickwork on the front and would look quite attractive if it were restored.

Harrow and Wealdstone station takes its name from the Weald stone. The Harrow and Wealdstone station links south to Croydon and north via Watford to Milton Keynes, Birmingham.

Another line, the Bakerloo, takes you south via Queens Park and Paddington to Baker Street, Piccadilly, Charing Cross, Waterloo, Elephant & Castle.

The front car park at the station currently costs £5 for the day. This photo shows the back car park where you can have Asda groceries delivered (see my previous post).
