Taken in about 1961
Ex-GWR Hawksworth ‘Modified Hall’ class 4-6-0 6959 ‘’Peatling Hall’’ approaching Paddington station in around 1961, with an LT CO/CP Stock Hammersmith and City Line train rushing past in the background..
The loco had entered service in March 1944, and was withdrawn at the end of 1965, and scrapped in April 1966. Six examples have been preserved, and a seventh has been used as a 'donor' for other projects..
Today (2025) the large goods shed in the background has gone, and the main lines are electrified, and passenger services are operated by Great Western Railway and Heathrow Express..
Restored from an under-exposed orange-colour-shifted original..

After our walk to the River Thames, JJ came back to the street where our Premier Inn was - the last block on the right. We looked down over those older buildings - schools - from our third floor window. But we had checked out by now and were just back in the area to get the tube from Ravenscourt Gardens into the City.
The Lyric Theatre, also known as the Lyric Hammersmith, is a theatre in King Street, Hammersmith, London.
The Lyric Theatre was originally a music hall established in 1888 on Bradmore Grove, Hammersmith. Success as an entertainment venue led it to be rebuilt and enlarged on the same site twice, firstly in 1890 and then in 1895 by the English theatrical architect Frank Matcham. The 1895 re-opening, as The New Lyric Opera House, was accompanied by an opening address by the famous actress Lillie Langtry. in 1966 the theatre was due to be closed and demolished. However, a successful campaign to save it led to the auditorium being dismantled and re-installed piece by piece within a modern shell on its current site on King Street a short distance from the former Bradmore Grove location. The relocated theatre opened in 1979.
It has two main performance areas: the Main House, a 550-seat 19th-century auditorium maintaining the original design which hosts its main productions; and the 120-seat Studio, which houses smaller productions by up-and-coming companies. [Wikipedia]
London Group Photowalk - Putney to Hammersmith. Hammersmith Bridge. The current bridge, which is Grade II* listed and was designed by Joseph Bazalgette and opened in June 1887, is the second on the site. It has had a troubled history, with three bomb attacks and partial or complete closures due to structural issues. The bridge has been closed since 2019 and neither the council nor TfL could afford the repairs estimated at £250million. It may never reopen to traffic.

The highest numbered of FWs vehicles for route 267, waits at Hammersmith Broadway on route to Hampton Court. I'm guessing by the adverts that this was taken in April 1975. Next month it was the dreaded repaint!

- in the middle of heavy rains (according to the Met Office). I keep disguising the disappointing performance of my new Z1 with heavy on-phone processing. Must stop it :(
The old basic bus station at Hammersmith, which was radically rebuilt when the site was redeveloped in 1992. Hammersmith flyover and Charing Cross Hospital can be seen in the background. A crowd pile aboard RM1341 (341CLT) on the 9 to head south across Hammersmith Bridge and onwards to Mortlake, a journey that can’t be made today - the bridge’s chronic structural weaknesses have closed it to all bus traffic, but the 9 was cut back to terminate in Hammersmith many years earlier.
It was the Leyland-engined roar of RM1341 as it pulled up to the stop that prompted me to dig out my camera to grab this view. The Leyland-powered Routemasters were a minority in the London Transport fleet, but they were great personal favourites. At this date, their numbers were being seriously culled. A recent Aldenham overhaul prolonged RM1341’s London life, however.
Several London Transport garages were closely associated with the Leyland-engined Routemasters from their arrival in 1963/64, including Tottenham (AR), Dalston (D) and Mortlake (M). The latter had been RM1341’s long-term home. Mortlake had a fine reputation for taking care of its buses, but its closure in 1982 was much regretted. RM1341 and its sisters were then reallocated to Turnham Green (V) to continue plying the 9 route. The bus ended its London career in 3/89, being dispatched for scrap without further use.

This is a long exposure of Hammersmith Bridge is a suspension bridge which crosses the River Thames in west London, just south of the Hammersmith area of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham on the north side of the river. It allows road traffic and pedestrians to cross to Barnes, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, on the south side of the river.
