Known by both names, Vine Place and St Marks Road, the pretty artisan cul-de-sac dates from around 1880.

The Vine Place cottages are of another vintage - dating from the early nineteenth century before the road was formed.

Evie Helen Erith Added: 13 Jun 2024 00:03 GMT	Vicker Road The road ’Vickers Road’ is numbered rather differently to other roads in the area as it was originally built as housing for the "Vickers" arms factory in the late 1800’s and early 1900s. Most of the houses still retain the original 19th century tiling and drainage outside of the front doors. Reply

Cyclists on the approach to the Ealing Common and Uxbridge Road junction (1946) Across the junction, Hangar Lane continues north along Hanger Lane towards the present-day Gyratory. The main Uxbridge Road was the A40 until the Western Avenue was designated with this number. The roadside trees have wartime-era three white rings painted on them but the RAC road sign would not have gone up during the war, so this dates the photo to be immediately post-war.
