The song is my version of Cream's White Room which was recorded on a laptop using NI Bandstand, Mixcraft,line 6 toneport GX,a Shure mic and a Telecaster guitar.....Took about a day to do including the editing in Windows Movie Maker.........Enjoy!
I grew up in Acton during the 1960's and 1970's. Great memories from these photos.

wonderful memories of my childhood playing in acton park going to the odeon and granada swimming in acton pools being a member of the chiswick social catching a train to richmond for ice skating even showing loftus road qpr football stadium wish there was more. brings a tear to my eyes , thankyou
Born in Churchfield road in '54 & went to Derwentwater and Twyford school. Left Twyford in '69. A wonderful area back then with great parks and cinemas and lots to do for young people. Accidentally attended John Entwhistles wedding at the church on Churchfield road.
My family live on Churchfeild Road in the late sixties early sevties and went to Twyford school for about three years
I grew up in Acton in the 60s and seventies lived in park road north and did my apprenticeship at marilyn's hairdressers on Crown Street. We had some laughs there but by god did we have to work hard.
Went to Twyford school.
I have good memories of it.
I was born in Acton Green 1936. Lived there till 1965 when we moved out work wise, done my national service whilst there, often think the youth today could benefit doing two years in national service, , nice to see these old videos, lovely memories thank you.
I was born in Park Royal hospital 1948, lived on Birkbeck Avenue, Acton when family moved up north. Went to Derwentwater infants and primary school, then The Elms secondary. Remember Tony's ice cream parlour on Churchfield Road, what happened to that. Dad drove for Davies shopfitting then Walls ice cream. Great times in the 50's growing up there.
I lived in Acton Vale flats for about six years from 1950. I have mixed feelings about those years, but this video brought back a lot of nostalgia. I especially enjoyed seeing the good old 607, the Odeon and the Granada. Thank you!
OMG brought back a lots of memories, growing up in Acton..

I went to Faraday high school back in the 70’s,
I remember bunking off and mucking about in Acton Park, and being hailed by the truancy officer, we ran off leaving her shouting boys, come back boys! Hahaha how we chuckled
I lived up in North Acton and walked to and from school most days.
I bet it has changed a great deal since then?
I lived there in Bromyard avenue in 71 to 73. Only went to John Perryn juniors. I remember the adventure playground in Acton Park. Had to climb up the tree by big nails, stand on a small wood platform, hold the rope and jump and sit on a huge knot. Also two ropes, one to stand on and one to hang onto above your head. I did it once and never again Aged 9.
I lived in Birkbeck Grove through the 60's and 70's, definatly remember going to Sat morning pics at the Odeon and the Granada.........remember that green chip shop too, went to Faraday until 74, Bomber Mead i think was headmaster and Miss Leather head mistress........good memories.
Lived on Churchfeild Road over head the Post Office any remember it was on the corner of Churchfeild and Birbeck road went to Twyford school for a couple of years some of my friends back then wear Michael Rean and Anthony Snagg lovely friends and good times we went back home to Ireland early 70s
Lived in Acton 50s-70s. Near fire station. Great memories of king street and the Edens. The market, cinemas and swimming baths.
Thank you for this splendid vid. Bought back so many fond memories. Lived in Acton from birth until my early twenties.
The beauty of these images lies in the sense of bygone reality they radiate, and the song sounds more authentic than the popular version I know ! 👍
I ran the shoe menders in the high street from 1974 to about 1979, returning again a few years later. I also did youth work down behind CAV for many years. Interesting choice of music as of course, Ginger Baker had a studio right near our Scout Hut for many years and we often used to hear him playing.
I also lived at Acton House from 1987 to 1992.
This was so amazing to watch, thank you for uploading ❤️ I lived on Derwentwater Road and went to Derwentwater Primary School, does anyone remember Woolworths, which is now The Belvedere and the market, which had a Wimpy, where KFC is now, next to The Oaks entrance. My parents were married at the Town Hall in 1979 and went to the McDonald's afterwards 😊
Thank you for your posting .Must say it's been a long time since I've been in Acton Gran and grandad lived there .Seen a few place's the kings head been one of them Thank you
Great memories.I used to live in Acton Nurses Home on Gunnesbury Lane and travel to Hammersmith Hospital on the number 7 bus every day from 1980 to 1984.
A great cover of the White room song. A great set of photo's too. Thanks for sharing
My Nan and Grandads home shown in this , the house by the sewage works. Many happy memories, in particular Guy Fawkes night there for the workers!

Oh yes, and we also had a newsagents on Churchfield Road, the Indian Restaurant is still on the corner, as is the launderette further down the road towards Acton Central Station, whose shop sign has never changed and is still the same as it was in the 80s.
Thanks for these.

I live in Acton now and love it - it's funky and diverse and just a little bit run-down, but I wouldn't live anywhere else. It was great to see all the old photos of it, but I was mystified by the shots of Piccadilly Circus (okay, you do say "and London") and then, at 2:57... the Annandale Advocate? Is that guy from Acton? Some of the shots look a bit anonymous - here's a house, then another house - and there seem a lot of the Chiswick club Society but still...nicely done, and nice version of White Room, too.
Adam Kimmel Cheers Adam.I'd forgotten all about this video.I grew up there in the 60's -80's and a frequent visitor to this day..I've seen a lot of changes.The photos are based around Acton and surrounding areas,places I used to go to.I'd run out of Acton pics to fit the song,so I filled it in with a few extras,including me in that Annandale post clip. Thanks for your comment/M
It's ever-changing. When I moved to Acton 10 years ago, it reminded me a bit of NYC in the late 70s - run-down and dirty, but with an ineffable buzz. Now it's doing its best, with coffee shops along Churchfield Road, even a wine bar (although the High Street is still all fast-food and pay-day loans). The danger is from our own council, who seem intent on burying us under high-rise "exclusive" flats.
It's a long way from Acton to Minnesota, though...
When I ran the shoe menders in the 1970's it was a very old town, with LOTS of Polish emigres who'd served the UK in the war and had now settled here.
It was very much the forgotten part of Ealing and we used to speculate about what would happen if this shop closed down or that shop shut.
The biggie was of course, the Co-Op which was a department store.
A very random collection of pictures!
I used to live on Acton Lane, behind the swimming pool, on the E3 route to Chiswick.
Sadly a dump now like a lot of London. Great times growing up in Shepherd's Bush now ruined by overcrowding and being too commercialised and real lack of character and locality.
Awwwwww
Not around then but still filling in and keeping up
