At 16m 55 seconds, you're looking across the road at the street where I was born, Adelaide Terrace. My parents bought the house around 1960 only to be horrified to discover that the M4 was just about to be built up on those massive concrete supports. Thank you for the video, it brings back many happy memories. It was also interesting to see the Air Quality Monitoring station just at the point where the M4 veers off the Gt West Rd. My primary school, St John's playground (one corner of it) was right under the M4, across the road. The school moved since, I believe. We used to write our address using Middx. We moved as a family slightly further out to Osterley in 1974.

I'm from Brentford and I used to go to Gunnersbury park in the summer with my family when I was young. We used to go on the boats, and take a picnic and all sit on the grass where Gunnersbury house is, and me and my cousins use to explore the ruins for hours, nice memories.

John, I'm certainly no expert on architectural movements (02:35) or even all that knowledgeable about them but...the "shorthand" that has always helped me is that Art Nouveau (which I mention only for contrast with what followed) was marked by sinuous curves and excessive ornamentation. With Art Deco, the curves went away, replaced by geometric shapes and lines, yet color still prevailed and it still featured ornamentation (some quite elaborate). With Modernism, the shapes were essentially rectilinear, black and white dominated and virtually all ornamentation vanished in a total embrace of minimalism. Also, Art Deco as a term didn't exist until the 1960s. At the time, before that label existed, people called all the styles of the '20s and '30s Zig-Zag, Jazz Pattern, Moderne or Modernistic. I continue to love your walks and your narratives and look forward to every Sunday's upload!

You didn't mention the site of the Firestone factory, which was another huge art deco building, which went all the way from the Gillette building to what was a branch of PC World the last time I was there. It was demolished over the weekend before it could be declared a listed building. Which is why the odd white wall runs along there - It was all that was left by the time it was listed

I distinctly remember the Lucozade sign, flashing, and filling the glass with its effervescent bubbles. Throughout my life, I have traveled that road, either for jobs in London, day trips, or car journeys, etc. I have so many fond memories, even, on the way to a temp job, of manning the pitch at the Oval, in bad rain, almost veering off the Chiswick Flyover onto the road below. So good, and terrifying memories. Anyway, thanks for sharing and stirring a lot of memories. Looking forward to seeing more of your walks in this area.

I have always used the county name when sending letters home to anyone in the "county" I really enjoyed this particular video , I worked for a time at Glaxo in Greenford, they had a huge presence there, it has been interesting to see how that company has morphed into the huge multi national conglomerate that it is now, involving beechams, Smith and Nephew and welcome among others. The Greenford and Sudbury areas are quite interesting and may well be worthy of a visit from yourself one day , that is if you haven't done one already.

I love the art deco/moderne around Chiswick. Also, the gothic arch in Gunnersbury park. Excellent architecture. Wasn't a scene or two from Notting Hill filmed at Gunnersbury? Heart breaking to see the white gate lodges with the flyover above and no direct exit below the arch? Also, Carville Hall. That's crying out for restoration. Wallis House. Literally wow! Beautiful amongst the dreadful steel and concrete. Then the state of the building used in the EaIing comedy. Developers have a lot to answer for. Then, finally the 1930s buildings and the building which didn't become a hotel. Fab walk, thank you John.

I remembered Gunnersbury park too from the video which stirred many good memories that I didn’t know I had, then revisiting some of those amazing Art Deco industrial buildings was a trip to a very special childhood place I haven’t visited for many years. Been in Australia for 20 years now so it’s a long time since I lived anywhere nearby. Yes we used to write both Greenford and Southall addresses as being in Middx I remember from 70s childhood.

Syon Park is in Private hands - The Duke of Northumberland who is currently one of the biggest landowners in England and spends a great deal of his time there.Regards the Sperry Gyroscope Co. it may be possible that they had something to do with Bletchley Park ops (Enigma cracking) but certainly did not manufacture Enigma machines. The secret wartime work involved radar development for Bombers during WW2. Glaxo is a holding company name. Beechams were most likely on that site as they were absorbed by Glaxo. Allen & Hanbury's old factory which was adjacent to Bethnal Green railway was also one of the original Glaxo companies and very old maybe the first company. Keep up the good work.

Yet another fascinating video John, I don't know the area too well but remember going by all those buildings over the years when travelling along A4/M4. It's good to see them being preserved along with buildings like Gunnersbury House. We have a similar building here in Swindon, the Mechanic's Institute, paid for by Great Western Railway workers and contained the UK's first lending library and provided health service to workers. The council says it's committed to bringing it back to its former glory but progress is slow. I recently watched your video on The Ridgeway to Ivinghoe Beacon then realised later it was 5 years old so possibly you didn't see my comments. It was re your mention about S P B Mais which immediately caught my attention as my dad had his book Southern Rambles for Londoners ( which I still have) when we lived in Dorking where I spent my teenage years in the 60s. Most of the walks were south of London, Guildford,Dorking,Reigate etc and he certainly had a relaxed style which probably went with the era,1930s probably ( no publishing date). On the back is an advert for Dolcis ladies walking shoes for 16s 9d, about 84p in today's money! We tended to follow the London Evening News ramble writer " Fieldfare" as his were mainly south of London and a bit more up to date. Do you have any plans to explore Surrey I wonder? Keep up the good work.
