New Years Eve Walk

Sudbury to Brentford, London. Sat 31 Dec 2016


Aintree Rd
 

 

 

 

 

 On the corner of Wadsworth Rd, which unfortunately we didn't have time to explore

 Bideford Avenue

 

 Art Deco architecture designed by Wallis, Gilbert and Partners (1933). Hoover abandoned the building in the

 early 1980s and it along with some adjoining houses was purchased by Tesco in 1989

 Tesco appear to have looked after it fairly well

 The adjacent building from 1938 was the Hoover canteen and is now an Asian restaurant
   
 They were Grade II* listed in 1980 and 1981 respectively  

 

 

 

 

 The building housing Lloyds bank and shops and flats has an interesting facade
 
 

 

 

 The Hoover Building is obscured by an ugly fence as the upper floors are bing coverted into 66 luxury 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments.

 On the other side of Western Avenue is St Mary the Virgin Perivale, now used for concerts, with just an occasional service

 It and the graveyard are kept up buy volunteers
    
 Many of the monuments had been vandalised, and are slowly being restored
