Y. Goldberg & Sons, in Waterloo Road, Uxbridge. (1)
Must be one of the oldest businesses in Uxbridge. Being out of the town centre, has survived decades of redevelopment, but for how long, with the rest of the road now being domestic flats and apartments.

It's good to know that if the Germans had sent a battleship along the canal they wouldn't have got any closer to central London than this.

Grand Union Canal pillbox, Uxbridge
The concrete pillbox nestles below the bridge of St John's Road on the east side of the canal which it appears to have guarded. New apartments at Waterloo Wharf can be seen behind the barge.
Another pillbox is known just south Image
In 2016, the remains of a World War 2 pillbox were unearthed close to the Grand Union Canal in Cowley, in the London Borough of Hillingdon.
The fortifications along this part of the Grand Union Canal formed a section of the 'Outer London Defence Ring'. Fabricated in reinforced concrete, the pillboxes included embrasures from which soldiers (usually of the Home Guard), armed with rifles or light machine guns, could fire on advancing enemy troops.
