More about Brentford
Brentford is often referred to as the former county
town of Middlesex, mainly because throughout most of the
18th and 19th centuries county elections were held and
declared here, at The Butts. In fact, Brentford did not
become a town in its own right until the 1870s, when New
and Old Brentford were finally joined together, first
under a local board of health and later, under Brentford
Urban District Council.
The Butts date from Brentford's grandest years, when
shops as fine as any in London lined the High Street.
Three large coaching inns - the Harrow, the Red Lion and
the Three Pigeons - emphasised the town's strategic
position on the road westward from London, and fine
houses were built on the other side of The Half Acre
from The Butts. But as the traffic increased, the High
Street became less attractive.
Industry began to arrive in the latter half of the 18th
century. The first industries tended to rely on
Brentford's corn market, with numerous malthouses,
normally attached to inns, as well as breweries and
distilleries. Several of the former still survived into
the 1890s, and at least three breweries were still
active, including one in Boston Manor Road and another
in Catherine Wheel Yard.
Tanning was another traditional industry shown on the
map, while the presence of so many market gardens led
naturally to jam-making. Soap-making, too, was long
established locally, with a factory dating from 1764 or
before, By the early 19th century Brentford was the
major manufacturing centre for hard soap in the region,
and the Thames Soap Works grew throughout much of the
century.
At the end of the 18th century produce from the local
market gardens was being loaded for destinations as far
afield as Hungerford, while timber, corn and coal were
major imports. The latter was given added significance
with the completion, in 1805, of the Grand Junction
Canal, following the course of the Brent for part of its
route, and making it possible to bring coal and
manufactured goods from the Midlands.
Whether it brought affluence to Brentford is a moot
point. Canal-boat children were a constant worry for
local philanthropists and a school was established for
them in the 1890s, initially in Isleworth but later in
The Butts and, during the 1950s, in the old St
Lawrence's school.
The railways effectively ended Brentford's days as a
coaching town, but brought no golden age of their own.
The loop line was opened in 1849, but has never given
the town a more than mediocre service. Of greater
interest, historically, was the Great Western &
Brentford Railway's branch, opened in 1859, principally
a freight line-passenger trains ran only from 1860 to
1915 and from 1920 to 1942.
Within a few years Brentford High Street had been
widened, to make way for the trams, some of the older
houses and old inns had begun to disappear, though parts
of Troy Town survived until the 1950s. The Great West
Road, about 150 yards north of the Loop Line and running
broadly parallel with it, brought modern industries to
the area in the 1920s. However, the character of
Brentford survived, with its small, back-street
industries, its wharves and boat-building yards. For the
historian with open eyes, the waterfront at Brentford,
with its echoes of the past, is well worth the
exploration.
