Just been working around ealing and was parked next to he common. Was on line looking at tube station locations and this video popped up. Very interesting

Very interesting video. Thank you.

Being bathed by girls (14) twice his age at (7) what’s that about? That place on Cuckoo Ave is weird. His mum was placed in St Bernard’s in Ealing Hosp- the treatment centre for the mentally disturbed. (Still running till date) Safe to say Ye old boy Charlie did not have a great Hanwell experience.

nice post....I come from here,doing a book called northolt stories, have relatives buried in st Mary's...ask me anything about northolt you want.

Very interesting! Yes, it made a great cameo in 'Masonic Mysteries ' especially. I don't know how they made it look so much like it was really burning.

I've been in Ealing since the 90s but never really found out about local history so I've been loving these videos.

Ealing Common is a prescious memory to me but I hadn't known the history you detail! I lived opposite the Common in what was then a prestigious career woman's residential hostel run by the YWCA. At that time I was a conference organiser in central London. One of my friends from Sussex used to visit and we'd walk on the Common and have a drink in the Grange pub.

I recall being told it being a particularly ornate water tower because Queen Victoria would pass by on the train en route to the Isle of Wight. If this is true, i do not know.

Only 265 gallons? That's not very much. We've got a water butt in our garden that holds 30 gallons! Surely that should be "265 THOUSAND gallons"?

I've always wondered about that building. Thank you for the video!

Thank you so much. This was very informative.

Used to play in there as a kid in the late 60's and 70's...

Thank you for the update mr oates i absolutely love the martinware since finding a grotesque fish plate in a charity shop had to put it back in the box at the time unfortunately my giro was late that week when i went back a few days later it had sadly gone, i was born and raised only in a stones throw away in Hayes use to cycle along the canal where the remains of the kiln were before being demolished in the late 70's❤

Did they show kung-fu movies in the 70s and 80s ?

I grew up near St Marys. I remember a knight and txt inscribed into the floor of the church.

Myself and a school friend David Dean (Spring Grove Grammar don't you know!) saw a Norman Wisdom double bill here in about 1963/4 in Southall here. Southall was a very nice place back then and we probably got there on a 120 bus (or 232) coming from Heston. NR

Great speaking voice. Rachel Long

This is so sad this building has been completely destroyed. Such a big part of history now given to house drunks. One place where young children would enjoy to visit and study. This building should be given back to the school as it’s just a stunning building

Thank you for the brief history

I was admitted in 1981. The nurses and doctors were brilliant. Another spell in another hospital 20 years later, Terrible experience.

Fascinating i remember going their in my childhood with my family in the 1970's im sure their was some martin brothers pottery on display their ❤

Great video I absolutely adore the martinware pottery and the history of the martin brothers and the aera where I grew up and have vivid memories of the remains of the kiln along havelock Road the workshop had long gone that would of been in around 1978 ish ❤

Junius….treacherous

Dr Oates……..or should I say ‘Junius?

Such a beautiful pub. Lovely staff and food is GORGEOUS ❤

Where did the secret tunnel run to? .. There is a secret access behind a fireplace that gives access to the tunnel

Excellent talk and very interesting.I really enjoyed it..Thank you.

VERY INTERESTING, THANKYOU

Played football on there a lot form club Norwood Green St. Mary's. Also nearby we played Southall Grammar at football just across the road from there.

The man walking backwards 🤣

I spent 19 days there in 1981. My treatment was awesome ,Drs and nurses were wonderful.

this is great vaideki! so proud of you

Been here. A very nice spot for a walk and a picnic.

I lived in Ludlow Road, Brentham Garden Suburb to give it its official name - from birth in 1949 to 1972. Ludlow Road is literally a stones throw away from the house in Pitshanger Lane where Fred Perry lived, and a similar short distance away from Brentham Club that has been a popular sports and social centre for many years.

I have seen Fred Perry statue at Wimbledon. Thank you for your brief history about him.

We had a small shop in liberty shopping hall a fruit n veg store in the 1980s

VERY INTERESTING, THANKYOU

I used to go here as a child 40 years ago wonderful memories here

To be padantic. 2.02 The inscription on the arch is ALLOM ARCHT with the ’T’ engraved in superscript. This is the standard abreviation for architect.

Much like Corby with the Scots when the steel works finished in the 1970s

Interested

There used to be tunnels near one of the exits in the 1970s

This is gold

Really interesting, and the restoration looks beautiful!

Very interesting..Thank you

Interesting thanks

Ironic. Ealing has a film studio but no cinima!

Have no documentry evidence for the reason for the ship. But lets break it down. 1) It is Elzabithan-ish in style. 2) Clock tower 1937 3) In 1936 Thomas Humphrey Paget submitted a design for the obverse of the half crown but ended being used for the 1937 half penny until decimalisation The design features the Elzabithan galleon the Golden Hind. (ref: Royal Mint Museum et. al.) 4) Paget was a sculptor admired for his skill for two dimensional art. An outstanding designers of medals and coins both for British and overseas currencies. The Weather vane is two dimensional, coins are two dimentional. 5) During the First World War, Paget served with the Royal Naval Voluntary Reserve (RNVR). Therefore, if he is indeed the artist this may hint as to ‘why a ship’. 6) Paget was an artist known to the Establishment and they like to stick with devils they already know. I rest my suppositiononal case me lord. Post script: It may have originaly looked like the three masted Goldern Hind but the aerodynamic drag when mounted on a centre mast (of three) would have had it facing the wind like a traditional Weather “Cock’. With the sails shown full and flags flying towards bow, it has to point away from wind to make nautical sense. Hence the need for modification resulting in the loss of a rear mast and foreshortening of hull aft of the centre mast.

Their used to be access from the canal to the asylum mortary which was on the west side of the Garden of Rest next to the dock (which is now filled in) and several yards before the hospital canal dock ( dock not lock) entrance itself. To the east of the mortary was the hospital’s burial ground.
