Ravenscourt Park Credit: IG/elaiineowe TUM image id: 1653861576 Licence: CC BY 2.0	Keene’s Automobile Works in Flanders Road, c. 1903. Mr L.P. Keene had earlier set up his works in a yard behind the Stores in Bath Road. He claimed it was the best repairing works in London with accommodation for 250 cars. He developed a fourteen-horsepower steam car called the ’Keenelet’, but it did not catch on and the company failed in 1904. In 1906 the firm of H.J. Mulliner, coachbuilders, took over the premises, which by then included workshops and offices in the three-storey Stores building. Mulliners made high-quality coachwork for firms such as Rolls-Royce and Bentley. It merged with Park Ward and moved to Willesden in 1961. A large red-brick office block, appropriately named Mulliner House, now occupies the site of the automobile works. TUM image id: 1681217745 Licence:	Gothick Cottage (early twentieth century) This house - considered one of the most beautiful in the area and a landmark on the Goldhawk Road - was, for many years, the home of a Mr Murcott, a gunsmith. It was demolished in 1958 and eventually replaced by a Shell filling station. According to descendant Hilary Tilmouth, the people you can see in the garden are Catherine Murcott, twins Annie and Kitty, along with Willy and Lionel Mutcott.

While areas to the north and south urbanised, a pocket of countryside survived very close to Shepherds Bush until after the First World War. This continuing bad connection with the rest of the area, before the First World War, allowed White City stadium to be developed as a green field site.
