Eccentric road restriction on Eastcote Lane
Once you drive into Eastcote Lane from Northolt there is one place to go, a school entrance just beyond the junction. Then the road crosses the Central Line railway and hits this barrier. There is absolutely no reason to drive along the road beyond the school as it is clearly signed no through road, but officially traffic can still drive beyond a hundred yards or so to this point, but there is no facility for turning round so would need to make a three point turn. Simply allowing access to the school and placing any restrictions beyond there would at least restrict the road in this direction to any functional use, as going beyond the school is a futile exercise as demonstrated here.

Eastcote Lane, Northolt
The school access is on the left, but the road continues over the rail bridge in the opposite direction only to be barred from going beyond by a bus lane although there is nothing else there besides the fenced sides of the bridge.

Blossom in Islip Manor Park
Islip Manor Park was created on the former grounds of Islips Manor, whose history dates back to a 14th century estate of the Ruislip family, Ruislips Place. It was renamed Islips Manor when the Lord of Northolt Manor purchased the estate in 1629. In 1853 it was purchased by antiquary George Harris who laid out the grounds and rebuilt the house, which remained in his wife's family after his death in 1890. Ealing Town Council purchased house and grounds in 1929; the house was used as a clinic and the grounds opened as a public park. There are vestiges of the 19th century planting.
