Historical London

Thrown off a train at South Acton recently, due to a fire at Gunnersbury. Found this house , or rather the rear view, whilst lost in deepest suburbia, desperately looking for a bus, a tube, a way out. Stopped me in my tracks. Didn't realise it had such a fascinating history, didn't realise I was viewing it back to front. I had never been to South Acton before, apart from whizzing through on an overground train, on the way to Richmond. What a find. Can't wait to return to view the front and maybe get a glimpse of that mosaic-covered  cab!
