Nopax' crack about Faireys reminds me that the junction between Station Road and North Hyde Road that was by Fairey's main gate is still known as Fairey Corner by the older residents of Hayes.
Ironically the public conveniences that stood there had to be closed by the council as they became a rendezvous for cottagers.
By the way, Nopax, have you seen those houses in Portsmouth that have ferries at the bottom of the garden? And as for the Cairo Hilton, that has Pharoahs at the bottom of the garden.
