EPW044508 ENGLAND (1934). The London Passenger Transport Board Metropolitan Line at Rayners Lane Junction, Alexandra Avenue and environs, Rayners Lane, 1934

The Rayners Hotel would appear on this site in 1937. Now listed Grade 2, it has been closed and unoccupied for a few years, awaiting a new use and is currently in quite a poor state. Edit: It seems to have been acquired for use as an education centre for an evangelical Christian organisation. It's a shame that it could not have found a use as a hospitality venue of some sort, but at least it will no longer be empty and decaying.

The Grosvenor Cinema would appear here within the next year or two. It would be known variously as the Odeon, the Gaumont and the Ace. It is now a cultural centre for Zoroastrians who appear to have kept the grade 2* listed building in good order. It's a pity that the same cannot be said for much of the rest of Rayners Lane.
