More about Acton
Acton is now a suburb of West London about 5 miles
from the centre, and well within the built-up area, but
for the greater part of it's history, consisted of only
a small cluster of houses around the medieval Church of
St. Mary's, providing refreshment for travellers on the
road from London to Oxford; together with a smaller
farming community at East Acton and a number of
scattered farm dwellings. The majority of residents were
employed in agriculture on the large holdings or in the
five common fields farmed in strips. During the 17th and
18th Centuries, Acton found favour as a Spa and as a
country retreat for the wealthy from the City, a number
of whom had large houses built for their use.
The scene changed little until the 1840s when the
village began to expand, but the greatest change began
in 1859 when the Enclosure award, permitted the
re-allocation of the strips in the common fields into
blocks, releasing land for building the lower class
housing required to keep up with the rapid growth of
London, made possible by the extension of the suburban
railways.
Industry came to Acton in the form of many small
laundries serving West London. There was no industrial
area until this century when factories were set up in
Acton Vale and later in North Acton (Park Royal).
A settlement at Acton is mentioned in the Doomsday book
of 1086, and the church of St. Mary's is first recorded
in the early 13th Century. The original medieval chapel
was enlarged by the building of a nave, and much later a
tower. The church was the focus of charitable giving -
money and property were left in the care of the church
for the giving of alms and for the maintenance of a
clean water supply. In the 18th century, the building
was faced with brick in the style of the time. The
present building dates from 1866, when the town outgrew
the existing building.
The earliest role of the village of Acton was in
providing refreshment for travellers on the busy road
from London to Oxford. Although only five miles from
London, the state of the roads in early times was such
that Acton was at least half a days travel along the
road. This lead to the opening of many inns and taverns
in the vicinity of the church of St. Mary's, so that the
travellers and their beasts could take refreshment
before continuing the long trek up Acton Hill towards
Oxford, or to tidy themselves up before going on to
London. The earliest recorded inn is in 1337, and the
number of inns and taverns is seen to increase over time
reflecting the volume of traffic along the road.
The industrial areas of Acton Vale became available at
the turn of the century, and comprised parts of the
common fields which had initially been used for the
making of bricks. The area was free of the building
restrictions imposed inside the London County Council
area, and therefore an attractive and economic site
creating a cluster of large developments. Ten years
later, a further cluster of industries developed at Park
Royal in north Acton, serving the needs of companies at
the Vale.
The heavy industry moved away from Acton during the
1950's and 60's. Recent changes in shopping habits have
caused a decline in the trade of the town. Acton is now
changing, with media and lighter industry taking over
from the heavy industry. With easy access to Central
London, Acton remains a popular place to live, with new
housing being built at many sites.
