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.

Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha
A Sikh Temple. There is a temple with the same name in Southall and nearly all information seems to be about that one. I can't even find when this one was built.

The 'North Star', Whitton Road, Hounslow
The badly-faded sign seems to depict a very early railway locomotive. I believe 'North Star' was the name of an early broad-gauge locomotive on the Great Western railway, so it would not have run in Hounslow, which was not reached by the railway until 1850, by which time locomotive design had progressed well beyond that of the machine depicted here.
