Roger Davis provided a scan of this postcard, which appears to date from around WW1.

The postcard shows a relatively quiet High Street, judging by the shadows it was the middle of a sunny day. The fire station is the prominent brick building on the left. It was built in 1897.

The bow-windowed building on the right is a pawnbrokers: Rattenbury's were running the business by 1913 but no name is visible to confirm.

Further along the High Street on the right a turret of the Brentford Cinema, which opened in 1912 (S30), is just visible - to the right of the trolleybus.
