Engraving of Kew Bridge and Strand-on-the-Green by the Bell & Crown Inn (1832) TUM image id: 1731584551 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.

South Parade, W4 TUM image id: 1466532570 Licence: CC BY 2.0	Silver Crescent, Gunnersbury (1920s) The road was for a while an isolated crescent of houses was backed onto notable market gardens with few houses. This arrangement didn’t survive the First World War with the remaining plots being filled in along with new surrounding roads. TUM image id: 1466547824 Licence:	“The Ginny” (1950s) The Acton Town to South Acton shuttle was a District Line service connecting the two stations via a now closed spur. It was also known as “the kettle run” since the crew could set off from Acton Town, travel the short distance to South Acton and back and the tea making started at Acton Town would be finished upon their return. It was the first example of One Person Operation on the Underground - the little trains had a driver but no guard. The justification was that there was only one car on the train.
