Local Frestonia resident Trevor. Frestonia was the name adopted by the residents of Freston Road, London W11, when they attempted to secede from the United Kingdom in 1977 to form the Free and Independent Republic of Frestonia. Many residents eventually set up a housing co-op in negotiation with Notting Hill Housing Trust, and included artists, musicians, writers, actors and activists. Actor David Rappaport was the Frestonia Foreign Minister while playwright Heathcote Williams served as Ambassador to the United Kingdom. Trevor, pictured, grew tomatoes in compost made from Frestonian residents’ waste.

The Hammersmith and City line of London Underground runs along behind the stalls at the left, and there are more shops in arches under the railway. The market runs both sides of the railway between Goldhawk Road and Uxbridge Road. The arch visible beyond the stalls is on Uxbridge Road. It is a large market with useful specialist shops as well as many greengrocers and clothes stalls.

Wood Lane (Central Line) station with a pivoting wooden platform extension. Prior to the 1908 Franco-British Exhibition, the western terminus of the Central London Railway was at Shepherd’s Bush. North of Shepherd’s Bush was Wood Lane depot. When the exhibition opened, a temporary station was constructed within the northern perimeter of the depot on the site of the reversing siding. A new tunnel was bored to connect directly to the end of the eastbound tunnel at Shepherd’s Bush station, forming a loop. As constructed for the exhibition, Wood Lane station had just a single track with platforms on each side: one for loading and the other for unloading. Trains entered the station anti-clockwise in a westbound direction from the tunnel under the depot, and exited heading south back into the tunnel in the direction of Shepherd’s Bush station. Following the success of the exhibition a number of other entertainment venues, notably White City Stadium, grew up in the area and the temporary station at Wood Lane became a permanent fixture. Wood Lane became the western terminus of the CLR. Until the late 1920s, the railway used carriages that were accessed by gated entrances at the carriage ends. When new rolling stock was introduced with sliding pneumatic doors, Wood Lane’s loop platforms had to be extended to provide access to all doors but it was not possible to extend the platform on the inside of the loop (the south side) as it interfered with an access track to the depot. A pivoting section of platform - seen here - was constructed that could be moved to allow access to the depot to be made when required.
