"HAUNTED COTTAGE
CONDEMNED AS UNFIT FOR HABITATION
Hanwell's "haunted house" may be demolished shortly. It is No. 2. Half Acre-road, and according to an old legend, a man was murdered there in the eighteenth century, and his ghost haunts the place.
Its proposed demolition has nothing to do with the ghost, however. The Ealing Medical Officer of Health has reported that it is unfit for human habitation. His opinion was reported to Ealing Town Council, and interested persons are being informed that the matter will be considered at the March meeting of the Council.
The cottage is possibly as much as 200 years old. The village stocks used to stand opposite it, and they were there within living memory."
