| This area of what looks like market gardening is now all part of the Great Western Industrial Estate .... But I suspect from some of the labels on the map becoming a retail park in this country that makes little and sales a lot.
It is sad the way we have slipped from sustaining (in the sense of providing employment and service) industry and growing to extensive retail. |

| Associated Equipment Company (A.E.C.) and the Daimler Co Ltd merged in 1926 to form the short-lived Associated Daimler Co Ltd, coinciding with construction (and photographing) of the new works at Southall, west of London. The first Southall buses were completed in early 1927 and over the next fifty-two years A.E.C. produced a series of buses that become part of the face of London, perhaps most notable the RTs and the Routemasters. Indeed the end came for this company that had nearly all its 'market in one basket' on completion of the last Routemaster. The demand for new buses dried up and the so the market for this firms product disappeared. |
