Glasbrook Ave. Borough of Twickenham
Just a bit of nameboard trivia here. Painted out but still obvious on this street name sign is the insignia of the former local authority for this area, the borough of Twickenham.
This ceased as a separate body in 1965, merging into the London borough of Richmond. Facts and figures on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Municipal_Borough_of_Twickenham

Glasbrook Avenue, Whitton
A typical street for this area, mixed semis and bungalows. Typical sky too with all those cloud trails. Heathrow Airport is just west of here.

Mill stream cascade
A high level mill stream returns to join the natural course of the River Crane. This is on the site of the old Hounslow Powder Mills, long gone, but leaving an intriguing network of waterways, humps and hollows.

Hanworth Road, Whitton
Apart from the housing, another feature typical of suburban streets is the heavy duty surgery applied to any tree that's getting too big.
This looks like a horse chestnut, already suffering from blight. How much can a tree take?
This is on one of the roadside bits of the London Loop long distance path.

Northwestern end of Crane Park
Crane Park Island Nature Reserve is located in the Twickenham area and offers a peaceful haven for wildlife amid London’s suburbia. The island is man-made and is 4.5 acres in size. It is connected to the “mainland” by a short crossing through a gate and a walkway overlooking the river. The site was formerly the location of the Hounslow Gunpowder Mills. The mills used the River Crane as a source of water power.
