This branch off the Grand Union Canal was installed to serve the large Otto Monsted margarine factory, the Maypole Dairy, in what was then Margarine Road, now Bridge Road. The factory opened in 1893 and later became part of Unilever. See Victoria County History for Middlesex http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=22402 .
