| The GWR 100 walk is on the Monday but the actual 100th Anniversary is on the Friday of that week ... being on the 30th May 2025. Never mind ... the walk will be great and I gather that some of the existing buildings will be open to view as well. Details not known. This website's Front Page directs one to a "GM100" website with more information. My understanding is that the Great West Road was originally opened in two or three stages. The King and Queen at that time ... George V and Queen Mary must have been delighted with the event. No longer did they have to drive through Brentford High Street ... when on their way from London to Windsor ... or Ascot! |
