Alperton: The Chequers public house
There has been a licensed premises known as The Chequers on this site, at the junction of Ealing Road and Stanley Avenue, since at least 1751. However it would appear that the pub's days are numbered because Brent Council have, subject to several conditions being met, granted planning permission for the demolition of the pub and the erection of a new building comprising 32 self-contained flats and 2 retail units.
There is a photograph of the pub here http://www.images-of-london.co.uk/jss/product.php?xProd=3013 dating from around 1910 showing a chequerboard pattern in the main gable end, which has since disappeared, but the Art Nouveau tablet above it, with the words "The Chequers Inn", is still present.

Alperton: Mount Pleasant
Viewed looking towards the junction of Mount Pleasant with the A4089 Ealing Road, the most remarkable thing here is the illustration of the changing demographics. The middle shop on the right is a shop selling Polish goods. The text on the fascia board reads 'Polski sklep' and 'Dobre bo polskie', which, using an on-line translator gives 'Polish store' and 'Good because Polish'.

Alperton: Shree Sanatan Hindu Mandir
This Hindu Mandir or temple is under construction on the west side of Ealing Road. The temple is being constructed of carved stonework imported from India and no metal has been used at all. Progress since Danny's Image can be seen. The temple was the site of controversy some time ago when it was alleged that stonemasons recruited in India to work on the site in Alperton were paid very low wages. The Independent's report on this is here http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/craftsmen-given-30p-an-hour-get-pound100000-back-pay-626725.html
