It was built and operated by Blue Halls Limited. It was such a success that a second cinema known as the Blue Hall Extension was opened on 26 December 1913 at the rear of the original Blue Hall. In 1935 ABC were planning a new cinema for Hammersmith and the Blue Hall Cinema was demolished to be replaced by the Regal Cinema. The Blue Hall Annexe continued to operate while the new Regal Cinema was being built. When that opened on 14 September 1936 the Blue Hall Annexe was closed and demolished to provide a cinema car park at the rear of the new Regal Cinema. The Regal Cinema operated as a 4-screen Cineworld Hammersmith until its closure in April 2016. TUM image id: 1517664264 Licence:	Carthew Road, Hammersmith (1920s) Carthew Road was originally part of an agricultural area called Bradford Fords This was known for its orchards and vegetable beds in the 18th century and was irrigated by Stamford Brook. The arrival of the Hammersmith & City Railway in 1864 greatly accelerated development and by the 1890s, Carthew Road was fully built up.

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.

Gothick Cottage (early twentieth century) This house - considered one of the most beautiful in the area and a landmark on the Goldhawk Road - was, for many years, the home of a Mr Murcott, a gunsmith. It was demolished in 1958 and eventually replaced by a Shell filling station. According to descendant Hilary Tilmouth, the people you can see in the garden are Catherine Murcott, twins Annie and Kitty, along with Willy and Lionel Mutcott. TUM image id: 1481561785 Licence:	I had a gentle amble around riverside Hammersmith. 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!

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.
