The Three Bridges site is quite interesting - I'm sure the Brentford branch was an original Brunel designed line and was originally double track. Above the railway, where you crossed the road, on your left in front was the old AEC works (where all the RT & RM buses, plus GWR/AEC railcars were built), then on the other side of the road was St Bernards mental hospital.

I couldn't think why I'd heard of Norwood Green. Then remembered it being signposted from Windmill Lane. Which runs from The Iron Bridge in Southall to Gilette Corner on the Great West Road

It’s a very little known place! Glad to have revived it a little

Thanks! l've been fretting about this one as it has no single focus. It's a bit like a Simpsons episode which starts with one plot and ends on another storyline altogether - nothing to do with the first bit of the episode!

8:13 you're not in Hayes, you're in Hounslow (well, the London Borough of, that is). Where you are is bordering between Heston and Norwood Green.

10:20 it is on the borders between Heston and Southall (nowhere near Hayes!)

Thanks for checking. It’s in the London Borough of Ealing once you emerge at the Plough. The UB2 postcode is officially “Southall (south)”

I hope your cap has found a loving home. Maybe the LT lost and found?

I saw a documentary about the Lost Property Office. They are overwhelmed with unclaimed mobile phones left on public transport

I lived in the area for 30years. Norwood Green is nowhere near Hayes. You probably meant Ealing. That is the borough boundary you crossed from Osterley Park. Hayes is several miles to the west. Otherwise a splendid video bringing back many happy memories.
