New Years Eve Walk
Sudbury to Brentford, London. Sat 31 Dec 2016
We crossed the Brent then took a footpath parallel with it to the
west, which led past a sports centre - which had
previously been the site of a sewage works - to a viaduct taking the
Greenford Branch of the GWR over the Brent
There were no trains today, though there is normally a half-hourly
service on weekdays. We walked through a council estate
to a long and rather boring footpath south to Drayton Bridge Rd, then
on to Cuckoo Lane and
Church Rd
which does eventually lead to Hanworth Church, an early church designed
by George Gilbert Scott , who later called it 'a mass of horrors'
We walked on through Brent Lodge Park, where I ignored the pull of
the tea room and headed towards the
River Brent and the Wharncliffe Viaduct
which we walked under, keeping by the Brent
which eventually joined the Grand Union Canal at the Hanwell flight
of locks
We kept on by the canal, walking towards Brentford as the light faded
away
under the M4
and the Piccadilly line
and across the canal as we approached Brentford. It was by now much
darker than this picture suggests
and pretty well pitch black by the time we reached
the Great West Rd, just in time
to walk along and miss the train home by a few seconds. Half an hour's
wait for the next.
