Northolt
Encyclopedia : N : NO : NOR : Northolt
Northolt is a suburb in the London Borough of Ealing, west of London. The most prominent landmarks in the suburb are the A40, a large road that connects central London with the M40 motorway; St. Mary's Parish Church (C:15th century), which stands on the high ground over looking the old village; and Willow Cottages, on the village green. Willow Cottages are said to have been built from bricks from the old manor house, which once stood behind the parish church.
Less prominent landmarks are Northolt Brook and the two towers of the disused RAF radio station north of the town. The name Northolt means northern wood and separates it from Southolt (Southall).
The Royal Air Force station of RAF Northolt is named after the town, although it is situated in neighbouring Ruislip in the London Borough of Hillingdon.
