A little later than the 40s. Possibly mid 50s. The single decker bus in the picture is an AEC Reliant MK IV operating the 711 Green Line route from High Wycombe to Reigate.
This type of bus was not introduced on the route until the early 50s. The trolleybuses were withdrawn from route 607 in late 1960. |

Looking south towards the junction with Station Road. Almost left was a toy shop in the 1950s, now a funeral parlour! On the right was a record shop, one half, the other occupied by a stationers who sold us Platignum and Osmid pens for school, plus my art supplies - cartridege paper books and paints. Rowley, in a shop hard left in the photograph, sold bicycles while his brother, in a separate shop, sold electrical goods furrher north on Broadway Parade, Coldharbour Lane, near where I lived, on the GWR railway estate.

In 1958 I had the 'privilege' of spending a period of nearly two years on 'holiday' at St Christopher's, which was then an approved school. Mr Humphrey was the master in charge of the gardens and greenhouses, and I forged a friendship that was to last until the day he sadly passed away, visiting him many times at his home in Hayes during the prevailing years. After my release, I became a speedway/stock car stadium manager, in charge of eight stadiums, two of which were in London, namely Wimbledon & New Cross. I eventually became a General Manager of a large PLC group, before forming my own successful Ltd Company. So good can come out of bad, as I have proved!!

Hi folks, great pictures here and a few which I think originated in our albums at http://westlondonchat.com/photos
Would love it if those of you who have pix of any part of West London would be kind enough to share them in our albums. Many thanks, Josh. |

I grew up in North Hillingdon back in the 1960's and wondered if anybody had any old photographs of any of the Police Boxes that stood in our area (Hillingdon, Uxbridge, Hayes, Cowley,Southall, etc) That they could share please? The only two I have is the Hayes Town Photo and this one taken at Hillingdon Circus back in 1950. Many Thanks, Pete |

This is looking north up Coldharbour Lane with East Avenue to the left, Pump Lane (out of shot) to the right, Botwell Lane, hard left, Station Road behind the camera. The police box was, in the 1950s, accompanied by a Fire Brigade alarm post. On East Avenue was the Odeon cinema, known as the Amabassdors, which was pulled down in the 1960s to make way for a BT telephone exchange.

In the photograph, at the pedestrian crossing, is the Nash open-top car that I recall driving up and down Coldharbour lane in the mid-50s. It was red and cream in colour and the cars were made under licence by Austin. Right in the photograph is mens clothing store, Penningtons, which supplied me and my brother with our purple-edged-with-yellow Townfield school uniforms. Alongside the Nash is the Cooperative food shop, and hard right is the junction with Pump Lane which, in the mid-50s, led to Kraft's cheese factory and Crosse and Blackwell soup factory, amongst others, alongside the railway line to Paddington.

I love this photograph. It was scanned from a book of Great Western Railway publicity department photographs. I came along a five decades after this shot and remember the fascination of watching the gates come down and a slow line of freight wagons roll over Station Road and into the factories that lined the canal. The ritual happened every weekeday morning and late afternoon. Factories included Crompton-Parkinson who made large electrical generators and sub-power stations.

This is the bridge over the Grand Union Canal, not the bridge at Hayes GWR station. In this shot, looking north on Station Road, the roof of the Crown Inn can just be made out.

This was the borstal that sat at the junction of Uxbridge Road and Coldharbour Lane. It was pulled down in the 1980s to make way for a supermarket and fast-food outlets.
