Borough of Willesden Survey 1949 : areas ripe for redevelopment : map

Like most other UK local authorities after WW2 the Borough of Willesden produced a local plan - or survey - capturing the condition of the Borough and making plans for improvements and development. For Willesden, a large proportion of the borough having only been developed in the previous two decades, this was a tall order as the spread of suburbia was somewhat against the post-war ideals of town planning. The Survey contains maps and charts plotting the various services available.

This map shows areas of the borough considered 'ripe' for redevelopment; like many boroughs that had grown considerably during the Victorian and Edwardian era many propoerties were considered life expired and this, along with wartime damage and deprevation, as well as the issue of multiple occupancy saw much property condemned for demolition with new construction replacing the old. As well as this movement out to New Towns or more suburban overspill sites was considered an imperative.
