Not the shot I wanted but when needs must... The Greenford Shuttle was terminating at Ealing Broadway at this time and the connecting service to Paddington via Acton Mainline had already left a few minutes before and wouldn't arrive again for another hour(!) (Great Planning FGW!) So stranded at Ealing Broadway we looked on helplessly as the train I had spent the afternoon coming out for roared past heading for the yard at Acton Mainline. The Colas Rail Class 60 headed Colnbrook to Lindsey Oil Refinery Tanks.
Ealing Studios
The site was first occupied as a film studio from 1902 by Will Baker Studios and was aquired in 1929 by Basil Dean who established Associated Talking Pictures Ltd. He was joined on the board by Stephen Courtauld and Reginald Baker and in 1931 they built Ealing Studios, tranferring all production there. When Dean left in 1938 to be replaced by Michael Balcon from MGM, about 60 films had been made at the studios. Balcon discontinued the ATP name and began to issue films under the Ealing Studios name. In 1944 the company was taken over by the Rank Organisation.
n the 1930s and 1940s, Ealing produced many comedies with stars such as Gracie Fields, George Formby, Stanley Holloway and Will Hay, who had established their reputations in other spheres of entertainment. The company was also instrumental in the use of documentary film-makers to make more realistic war films. These included Went the Day Well? (1942), The Foreman Went to France (1942), Undercover (1943), and San Demetrio London (1943). In 1945, the studio made its influential chiller compendium Dead of Night.
In the post-war period, the company embarked on a series of comedies which became the studio's hallmark. These were often lightly satirical and were seen to reflect aspects of British character and society. The first was Hue and Cry (1947) and the last Barnacle Bill (1956).
The best remembered Ealing films were produced between 1948 and 1955: Whisky Galore! (1949), Passport to Pimlico (1949), Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949), The Lavender Hill Mob (1951), The Man in the White Suit (1951), The Titfield Thunderbolt (1953), The Cruel Sea (1953) and The Ladykillers (1955) are now seen as classics of British cinema.
In 1955 the BBC bought the studio though films still using the Ealing name were made by MGM at Borehamwood for two years. The BBC based its Film Department at the studios; and at its peak 56 film crews used the studios as a base for location filming of drama with anything from Alistair Cooks, America Series through to Z cars, and Cathy Come Home The BBC also used the studio facilities at Ealing for filmed inserts where the electronic studio could not be used, such as for the excavation site in Quatermass and the Pit (1958–59), The White Rabbit (TV mini-series, 1967), Colditz (1972–74) and the prison series Porridge
In the 1990s with the BBC looking to reduce cost they put the studio up for sale and it was purchased by BBRK, but with a buy back clause, the BBC repurchased Ealing then selling on to the The National Film and Television school for a mere £1000. In 1995 the studios were purchased by the NFTS and yet again in mid-2000 by a consortium led by Fragile Films' Uri Fruchtmann and Barnaby Thompson, Harry Handelsman and John Kao, with a view to reviving the fortunes of the studio. Handelsman's Manhattan Loft Corporation redeveloped the 3.8 acre site to include the existing Grade II listed sound stages. The studio has since begun to produce theatrical films again, such as Lucky Break (2001), The Importance of Being Earnest (2002), and Valiant (2005). Shaun of the Dead and the highly rated 2005 horror film The Descent were both shot on the lot. In 2007, Ealing revived the St Trinian's franchise and the first film took over £12 million at the UK Box Office, making it the 4th most successful British independent movie of all time. St. Trinian's, The Legend of Fritton's Gold was released in December 2009 and took over £7 million at the UK Box Office. Between these, Ealing released Easy Virtue (2008), directed by Stephan Elliott and Dorian Gray (2009), directed by Oliver Parker. Ealing Studios is also home to the Met Film School London, which has a purposely built film school on the lot and use of the studios. ITV drama Downton Abbey shoots the servants' quarters on stages 3A and 3B.

The Snowmen have a ledge for you to sit on but I'm not sitting on that. Hope someone cleans it..........
The thing behind it is a bear with a Santa cap-not an elephant as I first thought.

The 'country' house (funny to imagine how Ealing was once OUTSIDE London!) of the great Sir John Soane. Grade I listed Pitzhanger Manor was built in 1800. Here he experimented with light, shape and illusion, ideas that he was later to use and expand on in his famous town house at 13 Lincoln's Inn Fields, one of my favourite ever houses.
Unfortunately the two principle rooms that I had particularly wanted to photograph at Pitzhanger were out of bounds to photography as they were being used for an art exhibition. But never mind, I live quite near, so will pop back another time.
