Gunnersbury Park & Brentford

Gunnersbury, London. Fri 24 Aug 2018



 The 19th century Orangery

 

 

 

 The house across the Horshoe Lake

 Built as a ruin. Through the gate is a vegetable garden

 Princess Amelia's Bath House -

 The at-risk 'Small Mansion'

 

 

 Most or all of what we can see is from the 19th century, though there are older parts below ground

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Another set of buildings hidden from the houses included stables

 

 

 

 On the way back to Kew Bridge the road passes the International School of London

 

 The cemetery was orginally part ofthe Gunnersbury Park

 Traffic comes around the Chiswick roundabout
     
 Chiswick High Rd

 

 and a cafe I photographed many years ago in colour

 

 next to Kew Bridge, this was for a year or so the site of the Kew eco-village

 The Thames and Brentford Ait

 

 Flats overlooking the river

 Mooring on The Hollows

 

 

 Brentford High St

 
     
 

The waterworks are a museum, with huge beam engines, sometimes in steam
