Uxbridge, Middlesex, The Chiltern View Tavern c1906
Uxbridge, Middlesex, The Chiltern View Tavern c1906. It looks like a cycling club meeting, the cyclists all wear a cap with a badge on it. The Chiltern View Tavern is in a sorry state now, boarded up and unloved. I think it closed its doors for the last time in 2006. I'm sure it won't be long before it is demolished and the site used for more luxury flats. A more detailed view is shown below. Click the pictures to enlarge.

Southfields, South West London, Elliott School circa 1911. The Elliot School was founded in 1904 in Southfields. This is a rare view of the original school. In 1956 the school moved to Putney. The original site in Southfields is now the home of Southfields Community College. For more old pictures please visit Sepia Saturday. Click the picture to enlarge.
