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.
