Too cold. For hardy intrepid types here are some clues for my stab in the dark about 3 stones. Keith, mind the Gallows. 1) The loop in the river at the bottom of the weir is the old course of the Brent. The river was drastically straightened (see old map of Hanwell) when it became the canal. On this loop is the site of the original GALLOWS BRIDGE mentioned later. Continue down the towpath towards the motorway and tube line. Just before the motorway bridge There is a path to the left after The loop of the Brent rejoins the canal leading up through the trees. Turn left onto the pathway. 2) The tube line is the southern boundary of the parish. THE GALLOWS where highwaymen and thieves were hung stood between Boston Manor Station and the motorway and would have been clearly visible from the river. Further down the canal is the "new" Gallows Bridge (built to allow the horses that towed the barges to cross the canal). After the footbridge, turn left and walk up the path to Southdown Avenue. Turn right into Southdown Avenue, left into Wellmeadow Road then right onto Boston Road. Cross the road at The pelican crossing by the station. Turn left and then first right into Cawdor Crescent 3) THE GOSPEL OAK stood where Boston Manor Station now stands. ft is believed that when the parish of St Mary’s Church extended right down to Brentford, church services were held at the half-way point to save those from the south having to walk all the way to the church. Its decayed trunk was removed in 1929. Continue round Cawdor Crescent, turning right into Clitherow Avenue which crosses Hazlemere Avenue |
