Place Name
Agricultural heritage. A clever name since it is both a reference to the fact that here the streets stop and the fields start, but also a reference to Field End Road, one of Ruislip’s oldest and most important thoroughfares. A feature of Eastcote village was the many “ends”, mostly with small greens, which denoted the boundaries of scattered hamlets. Field End, at the junction of Field End Road with Bridle Road, itself was so named because it stood at the end of the open fields. The road’s bend shows how every bit of available land was utilised by developers. For the street follows the line of the boundary between Priors Farm, which went under the digger and Islips Farm, which did not. It also marks the constituency boundary.
