Welsh Harp railway station was built by the Midland Railway in 1870 on its extension to St. Pancras station.
History
The station opened on 2 May 1870.[1] With a single island platform between the slow lines, it was important for people escaping from the City for a day out, fishing or boating on the Brent Reservoir built in 1838.
It was named after the nearby tavern, the Old Welsh Harp, but only lasted 33 years, closing on 1 July 1903.[1][2] There are now no visible remains of the station as it was quickly demolished after closure.[3] The Old Welsh Harp inn was demolished c. 1971.[4]
