Guest post by local historian Philip Grant
The Wembley History Society’s Christmas Picture Quiz has become a bit of tradition, since it began during the Covid-19 lockdown in 2020. Once again, Martin has kindly agreed to share it with “Wembley Matters” readers. You are invited to have a go at this year’s quiz, and the “question paper” is attached below.
There are ten pictures again this year, each with two questions. The images come from the area covered by the former Borough of Wembley (from 1934 this included the previous Urban District of Kingsbury), which the Society was set up in 1952 to promote the history of. That is the part of the present day London Borough north and west of the River Brent.

How many questions can you answer? The quiz is just for fun (no prizes!), and you’ll get the answers on this blog site next week. Don’t worry if there are some you don’t know, because the more questions you can’t answer, the more you’ll discover about Wembley in a week’s time.
Please feel free to share the quiz (and later the answers!) with friends and family living locally, or former Wembley residents, if you think they’ll enjoy it too. Good luck!
