| No Kath. Brentford just seems to have had more pubs than the local market can cope with for a number of years. I suspect, given that many of them are long-established, that their trade in the past was quite dependent on workers at the market (Waggon & Horses etc.), the gasworks (Potter's Arms, Bricklayer's etc.), the docks (Magpie etc.) and the many factories in the surrounding area. The area is now mainly residential. |
