Flats and Gymnasium in Uxbridge Road, Acton
This photo shows the flats and PureGym gymnasium in Acton High Street W3 9QU. They were built on the site of the Acton Tram Depot which originally opened in 1896 for horse-drawn trams, later being used by electric trams and trolleybuses then closing in March 1937. It then reopened as a bus garage in 1990 operating motor buses on route 207 between Shepherd's Bush and Uxbridge, subsequently closing in 2008 then razed to the ground. As the former bus garage had a distinctive appearance, it was perhaps unfortunate that it didn't become a Listed Building, being saved from demolition.

Tuck pointing on The Elms, 18th Century house in Acton
This is the south wall of The Elms, which is the administrative building of Twyford Church of England High School. Tuck pointing is a decorative white ribbon applied over hand-made irregular bricks to give a neat and uniform appearance. Dr Gerard Lynch in a long description on the Brickmaster website http://www.brickmaster.co.uk/tukcpointing.htm tells us it is: "a highly skilled and refined method of pointing brickwork whereby the overall mortar joint is coloured to match the brick and grooved while still 'green' to receive a carefully placed lime-putty : silver sand joint, which is then carefully trimmed to form a precise ribbon-like profile. Its intention, in England, was to create an illusion of gauged ashlared brickwork on walling constructed of standard, often irregular, handmade bricks."

The last owners were the Farnell family, who built a teddy bear factory next to the house.
