Argenta House, Argenta Way, NW10 London, Borough of Brent - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment

Wessex Archaeology

The Study Area contains minimal archaeological evidence for any period and it is unlikely that there was any significant human activity on the Site before the Postmedieval period. The most significant events within the Study Area have been the construction of major communications and transport routes: the Grand Union Canal (1805), the London and North Western Railway (1846) and the North Circular Road (1929). These have defined the landscape area around the Site. The Site itself has been open land or fields for most of its history until the 20th century when there were various industrial buildings built here before the construction of Argenta House.
