Crane Park and the Shot Tower
Crane Park is an attractive linear park following the River Crane in the Boroughs of Hounslow and Richmond upon Thames. The London LOOP passes through part of the park. The Shot Tower, standing next to the River Crane, was built in 1823. Its main use was for the production of small lead shot. Molten lead would be poured through a copper sieve from the top of the tower, which at that time was hollow. As the lead fell it formed small round pellets which cooled and hardened as they hit water in a large tank at the bottom of the tower. From 1766 to 1926, the surrounding area was the home to the Hounslow Gunpowder Mills. There were over 55 explosions recorded during the history of the mills, many of them fatal. The Shot Tower and the adjoining Crane Park Island, which is just to the left of the Shot Tower, are now used for environmental education.
