Bixley Field was formerly part of extensive brickfields. In 1826 John Nash used earth from here to supply bricks for his remodelling of Buckingham Palace. The western and northern parts of Bixley Field are entirely taken up by allotments as seen here. The gasholder seen in the distance is next to the main railway line at Southall.
