Dist:0.1km north<br/>This is the former St Stephen's Church at the north end of The Avenue which has been converted into residential use and renamed St Stephen's Court. A two bedroom second floor apartment in the conversion can currently be found for sale at £375,000.

Dist:0.7km south<br/>Looking west along Drayton Avenue. The eastern end of the street has a variety of housing, but most of the street has very homogenous houses, built in very long terraces.

Dist:0.7km north<br/>Pitts' Hanger, as it is shown on the Ordnance Survey map of 1868, was a farm that was eventually demolished in 1908 during the wholesale residential development that occurred in this area around that time. The name is remembered in Pitshanger Lane and in this park development in the former fields of the farm. Certainly the layout of this park is shown in the Ordnance Survey map of 1920. The trees either side of the avenue are London planes.

Dist:0.8km north<br/>This road has to be unusual because it's a cul-de-sac twice over, with 2 dead ends but both leading to the same place - a park. The houses on the left are very lucky as they are surrounded on 3 sides by Pitshanger Park. One more thing, I don't know why Perivale Gardens isn't in Perivale, but West Ealing? It's puzzled me for over 20 years since I was a postman in W13.

Dist:0.8km south<br/>On the corner of Manor Road and Drayton Road is the sorting office for the London W13 area. The sorting office and the houses further down Manor Road face straight onto the Great Western mainline.

Dist:0.8km south<br/>The 1330 Paddington to Penzance service passes West Ealing at speed. On the right now stands the Waitrose supermarket. The Railway has been electrified and overhead wires would prevent the same view today. The footbridge has been enclosed with wire mesh so you could not lean over and photograph the same view as I did then. The track work has also changed as have the trains running into Paddington these days.

Dist:0.8km south<br/>The railway station is on the west side of Drayton Green Road. The incorporation of British Rail's 1970s logo into the brickwork was probably regarded as a nice touch at the time, but in today's world of continuous corporate re-branding...
