Whitton Road, Hounslow
The normally busy Whitton Road was devoid of traffic at the time the photograph was taken as a traffic accident behind me had closed off the road.

North Star pub, Whitton Road, Hounslow
The locomotive 'North Star', seen on the pub sign, was built by Robert Stephenson & Company in 1837 for the 5ft 6in gauge New Orleans & Carroltown Railroad in the United States. When this venture failed, the engine was purchased by the Great Western Railway, and being modified to run on Brunel's broad gauge it ran as a Directors' special from Paddington to Maidenhead in 1837, thus becoming one of the first trains. The original engine was scrapped at Swindon in 1906, but a full size replica was built at the works in 1925 and can be seen at the GWR Railway Museum, Swindon. Strangely, the pub is opposite Hounslow station, which was opened in 1850 by the London & South Western Railway and was never on the GWR.

Footbridge at Hounslow station
Hounslow station was opened in 1850 by the London & South Western Railway. Although it has recently had an extensive revamp, the original station buildings have been retained. This view looks up the line towards Isleworth but trains go from either platform to Waterloo, the ones from the down platform on the right proceeding via Kingston.

Treaty Lodge Portico, 210 Hanworth Road, Hounslow
Treaty Lodge was formerly the HQ of the 8th Battalion, Middlesex Regiment (Duke of Cambridge's Own), with the drill hall behind. The stonework above the door carries the Prince of Wales feathers, 'Ich Dien', 'The Duke of Cambridge Own' 'VIII BATTn' 'SOUTH AFRICA' and '1900 1902', which must relate to the Treaty of Vereeniging that ended the Boer War in 1902 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Vereeniging The stonework at the top right hand corner of the building carries the date 1911, so that may have been when it was actually built. In 2014 Treaty House seems to be a hotel. See also Image and Image
