Post or Ask something here in 'Willesden' Willesden 83 Barry Road.Does anyone know when Barry Road,Stonebride Park,Willesden was demolished ? Does anyone know of any historical details about this area? Post reply -->London Willesden Colin Horne. 19 Jul ^ Willesden Barry RoadI was living in Stonebridge up to April 1962 and used to return to visit my relatives up to 1986 and Barry Road was still there then. Post reply -->London Willesden Tony 24 Jul ^ Willesden Barry RoadDuring the WW2 war years this road had brick & concrete air raid shelters errected on both sides, this happened on most streets because of the air raids that were going on. there was a laundry on the left side almost at the at the top end,This was called The highfield laundry families used to take the washing in a bag to be cleaned it was a cheap service but there was the odd occasion when you got another persons washing by mistake. At the very top of the road there was a ministry of Works compound which blocked off the road so vehicles had to return back down the hill to get out. It was a good road to skate down or or roll down in a homemade gocart. not a lot of traffic about then.
