About West London Shooting School

The West London Shooting School was founded in 1901 by Richmond Watson. With the sport enjoying unprecedented popularity in Edwardian England, he identified a need to improve accuracy and style, together with correct gu-fit. The School was originally based at Perivale, where the Hoover Building now stands, but vacated this site in 193l when the A40 Western Avenue was built and took up residence at its current home in Nor tholt. The School remained open throughout the Second VWorld War and in 1947 sporting champion Percy Stanbury (Stan) followed up a distinguished wartime career by becoming head instructor and manager, remaining until his retirement in 1970
