Ealing – 6 Quirky Facts
- Queen of the Suburbs
Once known as the ‘Queen of the Suburbs’, Ealing’s name derives from ‘Gillingas’ meaning ‘People of Gilla’, who may have been an Anglo-Saxon chieftain. Over the centuries the name has been recorded as Zelling, Yealing, Eling until it reached its present form. - Early Doors
Digs in the area have unearthed Neolithic implements, Iron Age coins, Romano-British burial sites. Like much of modern London, Ealing didn’t feature in the Domesday Book and would have been mostly scrubland and farms around the time that small villages like Garsden (Wiltshire) and Griddleton (Yorkshire) were considered important enough to be listed. - Stand & Deliver!
During the 1600s, the Uxbridge Road carried goods and travellers to and from London, dray wagons loaded with gin and beer were a common sight. This also created a need for coaching inns and stations which rich pickings and Ealing was one of a number of locations where highwaymen (and highway women, looting travellers was an equal opportunity gig) plied their dastardly trade. - Water Way To Go
One factor that helped Ealing grow was clean water. At a time when conditions in London were far from sanitary (children would drink beer rather than water as it was safer), the middle classes were looking for new towns and suburbs close enough to the city to commute. It wasn’t until the arrival of the Great Western Railway in the 1830s that Ealing really took shape, with new town planning, a town hall and horse busses taking workers into London. However, it was the world-famous movie studio that really put Ealing on the map. - Fiiiiiight!
It was one the very edge of Ealing that Parliamentarian forces stood and opposed the troops of Charles I. The largest battle of the English Civil War ensued with heavy losses on both sides at the Battle of Edgehill. It was the last attempt the King made on his former capital. The next time he entered London would be on way to his trial which caused him to completely lose his head. - The Lavender Hill Mob
The borough’s most celebrated claim to fame is Ealing Studios which has made some Britain’s best loved comedies. Whisky Galore!, Kind Hearts & Coronets, The Lavender Hill Mob, The Man in the White Suit, Passport To Pimlico, The Ladykillers (many of which have been remade), were all shot at Ealing. Sir Alec Guinness, Sir John Mills, Gracie Fields, George Formby, Sir Norman Wisdom, Tom Hardy all made movies here. In more recent times, productions have included; Downton Abbey, Shaun of the Dead, St Trinians, Monty Python, Dr Who, Bridget Jones, Luther, The Darkest Hour. And the studios have played a hand in numerous BAFTA, Golden Globe and Oscar winning shows and movies.
