Watering The Tarmac
Gowing and Pursey's Acton waste transfer and materials recycling station on Horn Lane. Trucks invariably bring in lots of mud and dust with them and a man is stationed on the entrance with a hose in an attempt to keep it under control. There is also a road sweeper that goes out on patrol at regular intervals - you can see its orange rear end to the left of the truck in the centre.

Pharmacy sign "Face mask available" in coronavirus pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic which spread in early 2020 face masks are one precaution against catching or spreading the disease. Here Jallas Pharmacy in North Acton is advertising their availability. At the time they had hand sanitiser spray - mainly alcohol - but didn't have the hand sanitiser gel which had become difficult to obtain.
