Southall Recreation Ground was formerly known as "Bill's Charity Land" and was acquired in two halves by the Council in 1901 and 1911. During drainage excavations the remains of a barge were found about 50 metres from the Lodge, showing that a branch of the canal serviced the local brickfields. In the distance, the gasholder next to the main line west of Southall station can just be made out.
