Block Management Maida Vale
As a specialist Block Management Company we are operating in Maida Vale .
History of Maida Vale
Before 1800, the area of land now known as Maida Vale, was about 200 acres (85 hectares), of completely open land. Its boundaries are the section of Edgware Road, now known as Maida Vale, to the east, the Regents Canal to the south, Formosa Street and Shirland Road to the west, and Kilburn Park Road to the north.
Maida Vale, London, is part of the City of Westminster, an affluent residential district. It's name originates from a pub called The Hero of Maida, and its hanging board used to show a likeness of Major-General Sir John Stuart, who was the Count of Maida, a town in Calabria, southern Italy. In February 1806, 5,000 British troops were sent under the command of Sir James Craig, to defend the Kingdom of Naples, Italy, and its neighbouring southern area, Calabria, against occupying French troops. During the conflict, Craig suffered ill health, and his command was replaced by Major-General John Stuart. He intended to exploit the weakness of the French troops in Calabria, across the Straits of Messina separating Sicily from southern Italy, by launching an attack on the Calabrian coast. He marched on to attack the French on the plains of Maida, and he gained an important victory, on 4th July, 1806. This honour resulted in Sir John Stuart's appointment as Count of Maida, by King Ferdinand IV of Naples and III of Sicily; and he was granted knighthood from the British government. So the pub The Hero of Maida was credited with its name, in 1810. The pub was situated on the original Edgware Road, near the Regent's Canal, and the pub continued trading until 2000.
