Brentford Bridge 

 

A ford over the Brent close to here gave the town its name 

 

Brentford Gauging locks and new developments 

around it that have removed most traces of the former canal buildings 

but kept this swing bridge 

Brentford Town Station was next to a bridge across the road taking the railway to the docks. Goods trains still
used this line when I was young.
