Ravenscourt Park Credit: IG/elaiineowe TUM image id: 1653861576 Licence: CC BY 2.0	The construction of the White City Estate began in the late 1930s and was finished after the Second World War. It is named after the White City Exhibition that took place on the site in 1908. The estate was built by the London County Council. 23 blocks were completed by the outbreak of the war, with the rest completed afterwards.

The arrival of the Hammersmith & City Railway in 1864 greatly accelerated development and by the 1890s, Carthew Road was fully built up.

It was demolished in 1958 and eventually replaced by a Shell filling station TUM image id: 1481561785 Licence:
Man waiting to cross Goldhawk Road, about 1935. Why did the postcard photographer not wait until the man had gone? The postcard is now all about him, really, front and centre as he is. The road on the left is Woodger Road Old London postcard TUM image id: 1669307138 Licence: CC BY 2.0	Construction work on the Wormholt Estate (1920) The East Acton area lay in a ’railway desert’ until the arrival of the Central Line. While areas to the north and south urbanised, a pocket of countryside survived very close to Shepherds Bush until after the First World War. This continuing bad connection with the rest of the area, before the First World War, allowed White City stadium to be developed as a green field site.

The 27 bus to Twickenham (1914) TUM image id: 1669395907 Licence: CC BY 2.0	From 1869 the London and South Western Railway ran services between Kensington and Richmond via Shepherds Bush and Hammersmith (The Grove) stations, in a loop joining up with the existing District Line. Intended to link Richmond with the city, this roundabout route lost out to the more direct electrified District Line and was closed to passengers in 1916. This postcard hints at the leisurely tempo of trains using the line.

On the way, I managed to discover the location of the Queen’s Dining Rooms. Not sure if I haven’t made this historical walk a bit too eccentric in places but I’m going with it!
