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.

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.
