Bath Road Motorbikes

With Bath Road their drag strip, a couple of Hounslow easy riders and their female companions ride off into the sunset in this joyride of a film

A newly-built Hounslow residential area forms the backdrop to this twilight adventure that sees two young lads show off their shiny motorcycles before taking some female friends for a spin. In skirts, heels and headscarves instead of helmets, the fearless ladies excitedly ride pillion down Bath Road. En route they pass Henlys Jaguar showroom, one of the biggest Jaguar and Rover dealerships in the country that gave its name to the roundabout.

This film is from the collection of Hounslow Local Studies and Archives
