History of Arrandene Open Space Park
The place of Arrandene Open Space Park and Mill Hill was used as a place to grow hay to feed London’s horses during Victorian times. After 1920s, when the horses were replaced by combustion engines to drive cabs and carts, the hay production went under the threats and the Mill Hill village was about to lose its distinct character. In 1929, Hendon Urban District Council, which is now merged with Barnet, purchased more than 50 acres of land to save the traditional and divergent character of the village. -
