Ah, this is my borough. At the other side of the walled garden from the manor was my school from 1968 to 1974. It was Ealing Grammar then, previously Middlesex County School and now it seems to change it's name every year into another college. One of the main school rules was that you couldn't walk across the Green outside the school but only walk around it. These days I might walk across it, but there is a feeling of fear at the back of my mind that a ghostly "You Boy, What are you doing!" will ring out across the ether.

Those Ealing Studio classics are still great.

I see they recently tried to do a remake of Kind Hearts & Coronets... which was a dismal reflection at the original. Lavender Hill Mob is likewise still on the video shelves... and likewise has had many 2nd rate imitations.

These are classics... Movies don't get any better than that!

Definitely with John agree re Lavender Hill Mob- still funny

Thanks for this Ealing Post DG . I knew Sir John Soane's House in Holborn well - in the days before it got some american money and is now so popular you have to queue - but did not know about his Ealing home. Those ceilings in your photos look incredible and will plan a visit.

What a nice waiting room, how infrequent are those trains then?

I agree too on Lavender Hill Mob and Kind Hearts & Coronets, such good fun. Worth watching when not wanting to spend the weekend doing DIY.
