Properties - Introduction

Numbering: 1 - 411

The High Street was numbered in 1876 and, unusually, each side is numbered sequentially. The southern side has numbers 1 to 158, with 1 at the eastern end (towards Kew Bridge) and 158 at the western end, Brentford Bridge. The northern side is numbered from 159 (Brentford Bridge) through to 411 (the eastern end towards Kew Bridge).

The 33 sections

I have divided the High Street into 33 sections. The start and end of each section is either a road off the High Street, or another landmark - such as a pub - which can usually be spotted in the censuses taken before the High Street was numbered. Whereas it is not always possible to be sure which building a person lived in, it is almost always possible to fit them into a specific section.

Types of information recorded

The notes prepared for each section cover any buildings of interest, long-lived businesses / families (including links where more detail is available) and references to any photographs and ephemera available. I have some information for every property but not all properties made it into the notes on this site. You are welcome to get in touch to find out more details for any numbers that do not feature - when I have set up my email account.

Local history sources

There are many excellent local histories of Brentford which I have drawn upon: the challenge has been to pull together disparate pieces of information and link them to a particular property.

Where a local history has been used, a reference to it such as (Q99) will appear. The '99' refers to the page number or photo number within the publication - see complete list of sources.
