Cowley: Peachey Lane (2)
Anyone unfamiliar with the area might question the presence here on Peachey Lane of this hill and the sharp bend in the road. It is however the location where the former Great Western Railway branch line from West Drayton to Uxbridge passed under the road. The railway opened in 1856 and closed in 1962, and today virtually all trace of it has gone. Image is visible on the skyline between the trees.

Cowley: Church of St Laurence
This attractive little church is on the east side of Church Road and at the eastern extremity of Cowley. Apart from the fact that Roman remains were found here in 1959 I can find no other information about the church on the internet. From a cartographical point of view this is a fine illustration of the relative inaccuracies of the Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 scale mapping. This shows the symbol for a church with a steeple clearly in the adjacent grid square Image, but using the more accurate 1:10,000 scale mapping the church is clearly mainly in this grid square.
This was an unplanned and inadvertent copy of a Francis Frith image of around 1955, here http://www.francisfrith.com/search/england/middlesex/cowley/photos/cowley_C581006.htm
