Brent Street was a section of a main road north out of London. At the Quadrant there is a milestone, the last piece of physical evidence of the old road. A small hamlet grew up during the Tudor period, at the junction of Brent Street and Bell Lane. Brent Street parish-pump supplied water for much of the area in the early 19th century, and there was also a 'cage' (1796-1883), an outdoor cell for holding for criminals.

The area was originally and informally known as New Hendon (1878 to 1890). Before that there were no streets or houses, only the Welsh Harp (see Brent Reservoir) and three farms: Upper and Lower Guttershedge, and Cockman's in the Wood.

The name Mill Hill Broadway is a relatively new one, with the lower end of what had been Lawrence Street being renamed in the 1910s after the first shops had been opened.

A Child Protection Case Conference (CPCC) is a meeting held about a child or children. The government says that a conference must be called when the council is worried that a child may be at risk of significant harm because of abuse or neglect. Where this is the case, we must, by law, intervene to work with families to ensure the child is protected.
