Description: | Isleworth lies on the northern bank of the Thames opposite Kew on the other side of the river and next to Brentford. All Saints church can be seen in the background of this photo. It was rebuilt in the early 18th century, but the stone tower belongs to an earlier 16th-century church.
In the early years of the 20th century, Isleworth was a quiet residential area, still known for its market gardens that provided London with fresh food. Boats regularly carried coal and provisions upriver to unload them at Isleworth wharfs.
This photo was probably taken from Isleworth Ait, an island in the Thames that is now a nature reserve. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Environment Transport | Temporal: | circa 1910 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
