Houses on Acton Lane
Late 19th century houses in typical yellow London Brick. The parapetted style of building with the roof hidden seems to be a particularly London-based feature of housing of the period.

Gala Bingo, Acton
Originally the Dominion cinema, built in 1936-7 to the design of the architect F E Bromige, a specialist in cinema design. It became the Granada before becoming a bingo club in 1972. A notable feature is the cantilevering of the central portion of the frontage, creating an entrance canopy. The deep fascia is a modern addition concealing the upper part of the original facade. Listed Grade II.

Ghosts From the Past
A car turns briskly off High Street, Acton onto Birkbeck Road. The building on the corner has two obvious ghost adverts intermixed.
The Mackie's name at the top belongs to an advert for Mackie's White Horse Whisky which adorned the building in 1908. That particular blended Scotch Whisky first went on sale circa 1890.
The more obvious advert is for Price's Old English Lavender Soap. This advert almost certainly predates the Mackie's one - Price started manufacturing soap in 1856.
There may even be a third advert trying to show through the Price's one. A fascinating glimpse of history!
