This is before the Hammersmith Flyover was built (11/61). Directly ahead is King Street, leading to Chiswick High Road; to the right of the Charrington Pub is Breadon Road, also (not visible) Brook Green Road (later Shepherds Bush Road. (See Image]). On the left is the entrance to the main Underground Hammersmith station (District and Piccadilly Lines), which is sub-surface here. All these buildings have subsequently been redeveloped.
