Brentford Images - 1907 Postcard

A view of the High Street near the Red Lion, showing a congested roadway with a tram, tradesmen's carts and some carriages

Wendy has provided the text on the back:
Our house is near here. It is much worse near the gas works. The town is called the cyclists' "death-trap" It is the day of the Duke of Northumberland's or the Earl of Jersey's garden party, hence the grand carriages which pass every Sat: It is sweet of you to remember my "natal" day. I had such a delightful budget from Kitty - y.I.W.

Wendy adds ": The Duke of Northumberland lived at Syon House and the Earl of Jersey lived at Osterley Park."

The Red Lion was at no. 197, on the north side of the High Street.
