Baitul Wahid Mosque, Snakey Lane, Hanworth
Not all mosques are large buildings or purpose built. The Baitul Wahid Mosque in Snakey Lane was until recently offices for Pitney Bowes and that was how it appeared on Street View at the time I photographed this, although it did have a notice on it saying "Freehold for sale". The facade seen here facing Snakey Lane has been changed but not the proportions or colour. The words above the windows speak for themselves.

Tudor Court, Castle Way, Hanworth Park
Old 'West Middlesex' is an area where odd little pockets of an earlier landscape survive surrounded by 20th century suburban development. There is little in Hanworth dating back further than the 1930's - so this rather eccentric building, just south of St George's church, came as quite a surprise.
The name reflects the fact that a much older house once stood here - a hunting lodge used by Henry VIII and other Tudor monarchs. Little seems to remain from those times - though a length of high wall at the SW end of the churchyard looks Tudor. In any case, the Tudor house was replaced during the 18th century by a house that has in its turn been demolished - though fragments from that era can be seen from the churchyard.
What you see here - converted to residential use - would appear to be a gatehouse and stables. The Middlesex edition of Pevsner's 'The Buildings of England' suggests a date of 'c.1850-60', and dismisses the present building as 'of no merit'. I think that's too harsh - Tudor Court does its bit to liven up these otherwise rather humdrum suburbs. The whole is almost a folly - with curious touches, like stained glass (or painted) windows protected by cast-iron grilles.
