H&DHS Committee member, James Marshall’s book, marking one hundred years of the A4 Great West Road in Hounslow, has been published by Phillimore – the local history publishers – and is available from some local bookshops and from the website of the BRENTFORD & CHISWICK LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY (see hyperlink above). It costs £25.00 + Postage when purchased on-line. LATEST: Hewson’s new Brentford bookshop (Bradshaw’s Yard, opposite the Market Place) now has stock. Other bookshops will be able to order from us. We are looking out for more bookshops in the SW Middlesex area who would like to sell this book.

We are very grateful for the publication funding and support provided by: The London Borough of Hounslow; The Mayor Of London’s Creative Enterprise West Zone; The Fulham Archaeological Rescue Group; JCDecaux; The Hadley Group; The Vinyl Factory and 180 Studios.
