Chiswick High Road (1900s) TUM image id: 1519219785 Licence: CC BY 2.0	Keene’s Automobile Works in Flanders Road, c. 1903. Mr L.P. Keene had earlier set up his works in a yard behind the Stores in Bath Road. He claimed it was the best repairing works in London with accommodation for 250 cars. He developed a fourteen-horsepower steam car called the ’Keenelet’, but it did not catch on and the company failed in 1904. In 1906 the firm of H.J. Mulliner, coachbuilders, took over the premises, which by then included workshops and offices in the three-storey Stores building. Mulliners made high-quality coachwork for firms such as Rolls-Royce and Bentley. It merged with Park Ward and moved to Willesden in 1961. A large red-brick office block, appropriately named Mulliner House, now occupies the site of the automobile works.

This was an enclave of small cottages tucked between a church and the River Thames. TUM image id: 1629234698 Licence:	A photo entitled "Motor smash at Chiswick". The number 344 on the left suggests Chiswick High Road, the later site of Carluccio’s. Based on the GR’ decorations on the right, just above the wall the car has demolished, the year could be the coronation year of 1911.

Turnham Green station, c. 1906 The station was opened in 1869 on the London and South Western Railway from Richmond to the City. Ten years later the line to Ealing was opened and in 1883 trains started to run through to Hounslow. Initially, the station only had two platforms with one up and one down line running between them; passengers crossed from one platform to the other using the footbridge, which can be seen in the photograph. In 1911 the station was reconstructed, with two island platforms with sets of tracks running on either side, thus allowing for an increase in the number of trains. The bridge had to be rebuilt in three parts to carry the extra tracks. TUM image id: 1678468863 Licence:
