The view in the final photo above is looking south towards the wharf, with the High Street behind the photographer.

Lynn adds 'the building on the right is a pub and the sign says 'Chiswick Ales', which was one of the ales of Turners brewery, now Fuller, Smith & Turner, I think.'

The pub, the Brewery Tap, was rebuilt in 1928, according to Gillian Clegg's Brentford & Chiswick Pubs, the high entrance with steps to prevent flooding. The pub is still there, its name reminding us of its origins: it was originally next to the Beehive Brewery (which was formerly the Grand Junction Brewery).
