MEET: No. 6 Coffee, 6 Boston Parade, Boston Road, Hanwell W7 2DG.
Join me on this walk mostly through green spaces: through Boston Manor Park, along the Grand Union Canal and through the once thriving site of Brentford Dock. We'll even take in an orchard, as we discover the history of Brentford.
The town was once the centre of the fruit and veg garden of England with its thousands of acres of market gardens and orchards, the site of two major battles, the place to live with its grand 18th century houses and the 'Golden Mile' of art deco factories. We'll enjoy all this and see the site of probably the greatest crime against heritage of the 20th century.
The cost is £12, either cash on the day or to my account sort code 090128 acct number 75471878.
