Dist:0.2km north<br/>Osterley Hotel, on the corner of Wood Lane & The Great West Road on a Winters day in 1956. Crates out the front indicate that this was a Brewery day when a Trumans lorry would arrive to deliver fresh supplies of draught beer and crates of bottled beers. A hatch was located in front of the nearest corner window, which when opened up allowed the barrels to be lowered down to the cellars.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>Photographed in the Summer of 1958, when traffic was much quieter. Note the older type traffic lights, the original pub sign and the uncluttered appearance around the building. Oh! and that's a Ford Consul which just happened to get in the way.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>Viewed looking towards London, one can just make out Gillette's clock tower on left hand side over the roof of the Osterley Hotel and on the right hand side the roof of St.Francis Church. Note that there are cycle tracks on each side of the carriageway, grass verges, very few street lights and not much traffic! The houses on the left are part of a small development known as Leigham Drive, accessed by the service road, running parallel to the main road. Borough Road Teachers Training College is behind the hedgerow on the right.

Dist:0.5km north<br/>The clock tower in the background is part of the original Gillette Factory. Designed by Sir Banister Fletcher - 1936. This was the last factory on the Great West Road, “Golden Mile”(a series of factories built in the Art Deco style) to be occupied by the original company it was built for. Built for Gillette, the razor manufacturer, the design of the building frontage is said to resemble a razor. Gillette finally stopped production in 2006 and moved out in 2007.
