River Crane at Brazil Mill
This bridge together with a weir, sluices and mill race are the remains of Brazil Mill, one of the many mills along the Crane which up until the 20th century by all accounts was a very industrial river with sword works, copper and paper mills, dye works and gunpowder factories all in what is now West London suburbia.
The mill here was recorded as making paper in 1671. By 1721 it was a dye works, making pigment from Brazil wood, hence the name. It burnt down around 1862. The surrounding woodland is still called Brazil Mill Wood.

River Crane south of Baber Bridge
The River Crane here is followed for some considerable distance by the London LOOP path. This is looking upriver, not far from Baber Bridge. I am not sure of the purpose of the twin tunnel in the distance here.

The River Crane divides
The upstream end of a long island. The near route formerly powered a snuff mill. The far route, the natural course used by parish boundaries, bypassed the mill via weirs.

Site of former snuff mill, River Crane
Looking upstream on the western branch of the river. The eastern branch, the natural course, bypasses the mill site via weirs. Above the mill there was formerly a substantial mill pond. The leat for the upper set of mills at Hounslow Powder Mills was tapped off it.
