Ravilious

Ravilious, Son & Co were a men's tailor's, hatter's, hosier's and outfitter's shop in Acton High Street from at least 1893. At some point in the 1980s the building became a branch of McDonald's. While looking on Google StreetView I spotted a sign "Ravilious for Van Heusen" just around the corner in Church Rd. A while later I realised that this photo: www.flickr.com/photos/49428126@N00/6868391588/in/photostream was of nearly the same spot in Church Rd, and there had been a second Ravilious shop. The premises is now the Damien Centre, a drop-in facility for the homeless.
