CATHERINE WHEEL YARD
AS IT WAS
and
AS IT IS NOW


The Catherine Wheel Yard in 1911 was just one of the many yards off both sides of the High Street, leading to stables and workshops of all descriptions. This yard led down to the canal, and by two footbridges over town and Jupps Wharves to the entrance of Brentford Dock with the River Thames. Much altered it is now called Catherine Wheel Road. In 1911 the building on the left was a shoeing forge run by Frederick Keevil.
