Brentford to Greenford
London. Sat 15 April 2017
At Brentford the canal is now dominated by some rather overpowering
flats where docks sheds used to be
The one remaining covered dowck has had its roof removed
and some fancy artwork added, greatly reducing its appeal
Though the painting at a lower level is rather better
The whole sense of the building has been lost
The towpath crosses to the opposite bank over Gallows Bridge.
It was built in 1820 by the Horseley Iron Works, Birmingham. Grade
II listed, probably designed by Thomas Telford
PIccadilly line bridge - the District Line used formerly to go to
Hounslow too.
The canal goes under the M4
There are various streams and overflows from the canal into the RIver
Brent which runs more or less alongside
and in some sections unites with the canal.
Trumpers Way has several business and industrial parks
including some to the north of the road
We left the canal to walk beside the RIver Brent
going under the Uxbridge Rd to the Hanwell Viaduct
and Brent Lodge Park, which has a Millennium Maze
a bridge at the north end of the park leads across the Brent
and past the cricket club to the golf course
and then back to the River Brent
Across the Ruislip Rd to Coston's Lane
and into Perivale Park
then crossing the bridge over Western Avenue and another mile or so
on to Greenford Station - where we got a
bus back to Brentford for the train home..
