Part of the Manor Farm land was developed by Ruislip Manor Cottage Society with low-rental housing for artisans, intended to serve the needs of the garden suburb planned for Ruislip-Northwood, all very much in the spirit of Hampstead Garden expansion on land owned by Kings College Cambridge.
Cottages. A larger composition of simple brick cottages in groups of four, set back from the road behind a green. The central group is by C.M. Crickmer, the two flanking ones by A. Soutar, the smaller end groups, set a little forward, by H Welch.

Ruislip Station. Opened 4th July 1904 on the Metropolitan Line as the only intermediate station on the extension to Uxbridge from Harrow at a time when the population of Ruislip was only 3,566. it was half mile from the village but less than half a mile from Ruislip Manor Station.. It was a substantial station from the start and remains largely as built. Ruislip station consisted of two platforms, which were linked by a lattice iron footbridge. The main building was on the up side, and built red brick. The footbridge got a corrugated iron roof in 1928, but is otherwise original.
Signal box was erected to control movements around the station and yard.

Ruislip
The local pronunciation of Ruislip is either 'Rizelip' or 'Ryeslip'. It Appears in the Domesday book as ‘Rislepe’. ‘Ruslep’ 1227, ‘Risselepe’ ‘Ruysshlep 1341,. It probably means 'leaping place - across the river – where rushes grow', from Old English ‘rysc’ and ‘hlyp’. The name refers to a crossing of the River Pimm. The opening of the Harrow and Uxbridge Railway in 1904 was the stimulus to the area called Metroland and the first housing developments along the new railway were here. The Council was concerned with the activities of a number of land developers who bought land near the railway in the 1900s. The British Freehold Land Company sold plots for £3 down and 10s per week, but buyers had to find their own architect and builder. As a result, they often designed their own homes, with disastrous results.
