I took the opportunity yesterday to walk down to Brentford High Street.  I am more used to driving around here, but the bright spring sunshine and the need to get a phone fixed took me along roads on foot this time.

Bretford High Street is in the process of renovation and you can see quite a change.   The old magistrates court has been converted into a restaurant (called Verdict) with a delightful little square in front.  Futher along the redevloped Brentford Dock is a very up market place to live and of course to take photographs.

On my way back to the house I stopped to admire the pub at the traffic lights.  We have stopped here countless time in the car and admired the golden beehive on the roof.

Then there was St Paul’s Church and the red brick Brentford Library, a gift of Andrew Carnegie it says on the large plaque on the front.   I was delighted to see that the benevolence of the Scots born industrialist had stretched even here to West London.

 

Just a taste of some of the buildings to photograph in Brentford.
