The Butts, Brentford: view south-west
Image: © Stefan Czapski Taken: 14 Jun 2014
A most unexpected corner of west London - or, if you prefer, of old west Middlesex. From Half Acre, the Butts leads south-west, and goes nowhere in particular - linking to a couple of quiet residential streets and a passageway through to the Market Place. Behind the wall seen on the left is St Mary's Convent; beyond that a little terrace of cottages that could be the oldest buildings to survive here - they look as if they could date from before 1700. The other side of the street is mostly Victorian http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4030145 At its western end, the Butts opens out into a square (of sorts) where the houses are mostly Georgian, built on ground that slopes away toward the River Brent and the canal.
