Southall, Middlesex, The Green c1925
Southall, Middlesex, The Green circa 1925. In this postcard of Southall by Johns of Tooting we can see the historic sixteenth century Southall Manor House. On the right of the postcard is the Victory pub, now demolished. The Green is the name of the road, there is no longer a green there. Click the postcard to enlarge.

The Victory looks quite an imposing building to have fallen prey to the demolition men. The detail of the pedestrians and other passers-by is wonderful, I couldn't quite make out what the vehicle was.
ReplyDeleteLooks like an early motorcycle with side car. Another "active" postcard.
