The River Thames in 1926, looking towards the Kew Bridge, on the left the partly completed extension to the gas works. Gas was first produced in Brentford in 1920 by Brentford Gas Company, which, in 1926 was taken over by the Gas Light & Coke Company. In 1949 when gas was nationalised the company became known as the North Thames Gas Board.

Looking from the Kew Bridge, where the old gas works use to be, it is returning to nature.
