Harrow Road houses from the back
Ramshackle Victorian three-storey terraced houses face Harrow Road with their backs turned to the canal - today the order of priorities might be different now that the waterway is no longer an industrial transport corridor.

Houses along the Paddington Branch of the Grand Union Canal
The Paddington Arm of the then Grand Junction Canal was opened in 1801 from Bull's Bridge near Southall to Paddington Basin. The canals were initially a success, particularly for transporting coal, building materials and other bulky loads, but the rise of the railways not long after the canals were built substantially reduced their importance. Now they are primarily a leisure facility. The Paddington Arm was one of the last to see the old-fashioned style of regular commercial traffic of paired narrow boats carrying the traditional materials such as coal, oils, and tar. The Paddington Arm now sees regular commercial traffic, usually in the form of aggregates. What was then the Central Electricity Generating Board laid cables under some of the towpaths in the 1970s and made them suitable for pedestrians again.
The towpath is followed by the Grand Union Canal Walk. This section is between Ladbroke Grove and Great Western Road. The houses on the opposite side are on Harrow Road. Street View shows that on the Harrow Road side they were shops but only a few still are, many of them having been converted into housing.

Grand Union Canal, Kensal Town, 1988
To the right, the backs of houses on the Harrow Road. In the distance The Flora pub can just be made out. The factories to the left include, I believe, some subsequently demolished.

Houses by the Grand Union Canal, Paddington arm
Rather a dreary stretch of the canal, seen in dreary November weather. Much of the canalside between here and Paddington has been redeveloped in the last half-century, but before about 1950 much of it must have looked somewhat like this.
The houses face the Harrow Road, which at this point runs close to and parallel with the canal,
