 | | During the 16th and 17th centuries the area south of Harrow, including Perivale parish and known collectively as the 'Perivale' or 'Purivale', acquired a reputation as a high quality wheat-growing district. |
 | | The construction in 1924 of Greenford Road, an arterial road running north-south to the west of Perivale parish, and in 1929-30 of Western Avenue, passing from east to west across the south of the parish, first opened up the area to speculative building. |
