Trivia alert: Norwood Green was home to Hayley Mills in the 1970s.

Used to play in and around Yeading Brook, seventy years ago.

That newsagents is where I got my first job - paperboy. I was about 12, and I'm
68 now. Name has changed but amazing to see the shop still open.

I've unwittingly managed to pick off two of the points South, as it is from Norwood Green that Osterley Lane runs from, and great, quiet little country road in Hounslow that happens to cross the M4. East, as I often cycle down or up Askew Road / Old Oak Road if heading northwards from my flat in Hammersmith.

Quite amazingly I have been in close proximity to all of these!
1. Local to Roxeth Rec
2. Walked the Yeading Brook
3. Formerly local to that end of Norwood Green
4. Was 500m further up Old Oak Road on a walk in March and will be again next month.

Isn't the most northerly building in Ealing number 9 Ross Close?

Sorry, I’ll delete that paragraph.

Only "north" would have been part of Ealing prior to 1965, I suspect.

I was curious enough to want to know where the E/W and N/S lines meet. Turns out it's just about on top of 64 Millet Road.

I did the same for Lambeth last year.
I should warn you there are potentially 31 more of these reports to go.

An enjoyable read. This post is surely a contender for the ‘top ten most Diamond Geezer posts ever’ list?

Somewhat incorrect. Stations were named way before the change and merger of the three councils in 1965.

I live just across the road from the East Ealing section. The shop on the corner was fitted out with some kind of cooking equipment many years ago and looked like it might become a kebab shop or similar. It was then all closed up and nothing seems to have happened until Tuesday when the shutters were open and people were inside. Yesterday and today, however, it's all closed up again.
