Transfer from Cricklewood (NW2) to Gatwick Airport
The town of Willesden became most popular between the 14th and 16th century when it was a place of pilgrimage mostly because of two historical statues located at the Church of St Mary. The statues represented the Virgin Mary. It is thought that one of this statue of a Black Madonna. Due to this reason it was taken to Thomas Cromwell’s house and burnt in the 16th century among with other important pieces. One of the items that was burnt together with the statue was known as “the holy hell” and was believed to possess miraculous powers.
Willesden remained mostly rural until the town recorded one of the biggest booms in terms of increase in population when between 1875 and 1906 the number of residents grew from 18,500 to 140,000. Another great expansion was also recorded after World War I when numerous factories were built in the region and flats and houses were also built to support the increasing number of people that moved to Willesden to work.
In 1933 the town became a municipal borough and was predominantly working-class while 30 years later migrants from the Caribbean and Indian Subcontinent started to reside there. Not long after that the town went into a period of decline and never managed to fully recover since then.
