IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Freston Road, LONDON, W10 6TH

The Hammersmith & City Line snakes its way through some industrial buildings in this square. This is the site of the new White City station on the Hammersmith & City Line, which is currently being built to the left hand side of the line in the picture, to avoid having to demolish the adjacent building.

Former public house on the junction of Freston Road and Bramley Road (on the right). Now housing. On the left in the background, is the railway bridge carrying the Circle and Hammersmith and City lines between Wood Lane and Ladbroke Grove stations

Following a change of sponsorship, London's hire bikes have changed colour. Image That must have cost a lot of money, but I expect they go faster now.....

A freight train on the West London Line north of Shepherd's Bush (overground) station heading underneath the Hammersmith & City Line towards Willesden Junction. Taken from alongside the West Cross Route.

A few bikes are here to be hired for the almost all central London scheme. In the background is the railway bridge carrying the Circle and Hammersmith and City lines between Wood Lane and Ladbroke Grove stations.

Former Holy Trinity Church on Freston Road. Grade II listed. See http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-201777-harrow-club-greater-london-authority for more details about the church.

The second-hand shop has an amusing name, although most of its stock seems to be out on the pavement. The bridge carries the Hammersmith & City Line.

As seen from Shalfleet Drive. Around it are construction works.

Latimer Road station opened on 16th December 1868 at a junction formed between two existing railway lines – the Hammersmith & City Railway opened on 13th June 1864 (owned by the Great Western Railway and running between Westbourne Park and Hammersmith stations) and the West London Railway (WLR) opened on 1st July 1864 to Addison Road (now Kensington Olympia). The link to Addison Road was closed on 19th October 1940 and the junction no longer exists. Trains on the Hammersmith & City Line serve the station and now also, in an effort to improve its reliability, the Circle Line. The next station in this direction is Wood Lane. The afternoon was quite as miserable as it looks in the photograph.

South side of the bridge. Looking across Bramley Road along Hurstway Walk towards Grenfell Tower (both Lancaster West Estate). Latimer Road itself is not actually very near the station of the same name though I suspect the building of the nearby A3220 West Cross Route meant much of the road was demolished. A look at the 1940s map shows a very different scene.
