Brentford to Hammersmith

Brentford, London. Thu 27 Dec 2018



 Brentford locks were guaging locks so that tolls could be charged

 The dockside sheds have been replaced by flats

 

 The road over the canal used to be the main road from London to the west and southwest

 The canal leads to Birmingham

 South of the High St the river and canal flow in the same channel

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The bridge used to carry the railway from Southall to Brentford Dock - and now gives access to the flats there

 

 


  


  Flats at right are on the former Brentford Dock

 

 


 

 THe river flows over the weir below the footbridge at centre left. At right, Thames Lock connects the canal to the RIver Thames


 

 The river comes back from the left here to rejoin the outlet from Thames Lock leading to the Thames

 
 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 The River Brent flows down towards the River Thames
