The Express Dairy shop on Falloden Way, Hampstead Garden Suburb, in the 1950s.
I've been trying to work out where the shop would be now, and not worked it out yet. There's no visible numbers on the shop fronts

If anyone could help i would be most grateful

In recent years the building has looked like this.

I would be interested if anyone has older photos of the club. Its a great shame that a place that meant so much to local people should have been left like this.

Wealdstone Social Club, Wealdstone

In 2017 the Club building was sold to Harrow for £3m, as @camraofficial.bsky.social reported

John Grindrod on the suburbs, the grey plague and post-pandemic architecture Part one of our conversation with the author and architecture geek

Here's John Grindrod talking about 'the grey plague' as a trend for suburban houses. Definitely a thing, and it's horrible. londoninbits.substack.com/p/john-grind...

The area is considerably changed now, and the housing (Steele Road and Disraeli Road) has long gone, replaced by industrial units.

Using a 1914 O/S map, I located the spot where the photo was taken (marked with a X), using the housing on the left and the Taylors Lane power station (indicated by the 👆) as guides.
