Acton: Shaa Road
To the stranger casually looking at a street map Shaa Road looks like a spelling mistake! Nonetheless here it is on site, complete with its road name plate and the old Ordnance Survey map of 1896 shows it with this spelling. A little Googling soon threw up the possible answer. It seems that the road is probably named after Sir Edmund Shaa, a goldsmith who was Mayor of London in 1482 and 1483 and an influential figure of the time in his dealings with Royalty. This is confirmed to a certain extent by the existence of The Goldsmith's Arms pub just around the corner from the other end of Shaa Road.
The original properties in Shaa Road appear to have been built in the 1880s by George Wright and the area is now part of the Acton Park Conservation Area. This view is taken from Perryn Road.

Goldsmiths' Buildings (4)
One of the residential units (or more correctly, judging by the position of the chimney, parts of two). Each unit comprises a small reception room, a small bedroom, a small kitchen and a small bathroom - for an asking price in 2011 of around £350,000. (But you do have the kudos of living in a Grade II* Listed property!)

East Acton: St Dunstan's Church
Given the local connection with goldsmiths it is not surprising that the local church should be dedicated to their patron saint, St Dunstan. This is the tower of the church which was built between 1878 and 1879. The church is built in the Decorated style of red brick with white Doulting stone dressings. The tower is at the south-west corner of the church and its broach spire rises to about 140 feet about ground level. It houses a single bell which, after hanging silent for many years, was repaired and returned to operation in the 1990s. This is the view from Vyner Road.
