About Uxbridge - show infohide info
Uxbridge is a town in the county of Greater London, and in the London borough of Hillingdon. The name is derived from 'Wuxen bridge"; Wuxen bring the name of a seventh century Saxon tribe. The towns roots date back to the Bronze age, as relics dating from 700BC have been found on the site. Mediaeval remains have also been found on the site of the Chimes shopping centre. When Elizabeth I was in power, Roman Catholics were subject to severe constraints. Edmund Campion was a priest, trained in the Netherlands, who travelled around the country pretending to be a diamond merchant while giving sermons. In 1580 he came to Uxbridge, and hid in the house of William Catesby for a fortnight. The Catesby house was involved in further controversy in 1605, when Robert (son of William) Catesby, leader of the gunpowder plot, fled and hid in the house when the plot was discovered. He was later discovered, and shot. In the early 19th century, Uxbridge was not a desirable place to be. The jurist William Arabin said of it residents "They will steal the very teeth out of your mouth as you walk through the streets. I know it from experience." Uxbridge was primarily involved in the production of flour and ale for the capital, however the last brewery closed in the 1930's. The Grand Union (formerly Grand Junction) canal passes by the town, and acts as the border to the borough of Hillingdon. The canal was instrumental in distributing the products made in Uxbridge around the region.
