Goodness...Old Oak Common Loco Sheds. 1960, I spent many a lunch break from Acton Wells School in the loco sheds (as a student from Acton Technical School we occupied the top floor at Acton Wells).
Access to sheds via the boundary fence off the Grand Union Canal bank. Returned to school for the afternoon session covered in coal dust looking like minstrels. Happy days.
