Brentford Photographs
There are some superb photos of Brentford in local history books and I hope to be able to include some on this site eventually. Where it has been possible to identify which properties a photo covers, details of which publication it is from are included under 'Photos/Ephemera/Maps' within the relevant property section.Have you any photos or postcards of the High Street you would be willing to scan or photocopy for inclusion on this site? Any date at all? If so please contact me, I will be delighted to include them.
The main categories I have split the photos into are:
- Postcards (early C20)
- Miscellaneous: these are often personal photos, all dates
- 1945/6 photos by Herbert Felton
- Modern photos by various people
