Alperton – ‘Alprinton’ 1199, ‘Alpertone’ 1282, ‘Alpurton’ 1350, ‘Aperton alias Alperton’ 1578, that is 'farmstead or estate associated with a man called Ealhbeorht', from an Old English personal name. ‘Ealherhihgton’. Old English ‘tun’ a farm or by an apple farm. The 1282 form, may represent a separate tradition of naming the place, and may mean 'Ealhbeorht's farm or estate'. The difference may appear to be slight, but could represent a considerable difference in area, since the original territory would have been much larger than the estate within it, represented by the historic Alperton
Alperton Lane
Wembley Dust Destructor 1935. Built by Heenan and Froude, this plant was designed to deal with 100 tons of refuse in an 8-hour shift after it became no longer possible for Wembley to dispose of its refuse by barging it down the Grand junction Canal to dumping grounds at West Drayton. An ultra modern plant of its time, it catered for the separation of all saleable material such as metal, rags, glass, paper and bones, but became more and more difficult to operate as the amount of plastic increased and coal cinders decreased and was closed in 1975, the chimney being demolished in 1978.
