Willesden Junction, where i assume the trains fall off the edge of the world. As a child, the Midland Red bus service that passed the end of our road went to "World's End". It was one of the first things I learned to read. I had this vision of the buses going to a cloud-filled cliff-edge and then turning around and coming back to Smethwick. Years later when I discovered the collection of suburban semis that was World's end, it was a bit of a disappointment! There are London buses that go to World's End as well. tim |

There was even a TV series set there in the 1970s |
