Merged

An attempt to fit the vanished 1960s buildings into the present-day landscape. Works reasonably well.

Top pic: sometime in the 1960s, bottom pic: January 2012.

I'd love to know what the Suzette shop was - maybe a ladies' hair salon?

South Acton 1893 OS map with modern tower blocks and flats

South Acton 1893 OS map with modern tower blocks and flats

Modern buildings in South Acton added to the old map from a 2010 aerial photograph enlarged to the same scale. I included Blackmore Tower, which was demolished in 2011.

Appleby Court was built where the 22-storey tower block Barrie House stood from the early '60s until its demolition in 2001. See Mark's (don't know his surname) pics and a video here: mdsh.com/wiki/jsp/Wiki?Barrie%20House

Modern buildings added to the old map from an aerial photograph enlarged to the same scale. I included (on top of the modern flats that replaced it) Barrie House, which was demolished in 2001, plus Kipling Tower and Blackmore Tower, which were demolished in 2010 and 2011.
