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
