Hounslow’s Local Studies team, working with the Hounslow Heritage Guides and our Society, are putting on another Local History Day. Originally advertised at Brentford Library, a building repair problem means that it has been relocated to Boston Manor House, about 15 minutes’ walk north of the Library.

The day includes family and local history stalls, displays and publications for sale in this fabulously decorative setting.There’s a cafe near the walled garden, fantastic playgrounds and the park is handsome – its a great free day!

Join us for talks:
11.30 Waterways in Brentford
12.15 Making a living from the river
3.00 The opening of the Great West Road

and a guided walk on the Great West Road and the Canal, 1.30 to 2.30.
