The Duke of Northumberland's River: Isleworth Mill Bridge

The Mill Bridge was built to carry Church Street over The Duke of Northumberland's River. The river is an artificial cut dug in the 16th century to provide a water supply for Isleworth flour mill. The original Tudor mill building was destroyed by fire in 1795 and was replaced by a larger brick built structure. The mill closed in 1934, and was demolished, along with the granary, in 1941. The bridge, and the mill basin to the right in the photograph, are therefore the only surviving major artefacts of the previous industrial use of the site.
