There is another chance to join the Hounslow Heritage Guides this weekend.
On Sunday (13 August) they will be leading a Brentford Waterways walk. This is a linear walk that follows the River Brent and the Grand Union Canal to the Thames looking at the remains of the commercial uses and present day homes.
To join meet the Guide at the corner of the Market Place opposite the Magpie and Crown. (TW8 8LB)
The cost is £3 with no charge for children.
The Hounslow Heritage Guides started its 29th year of local history walks this late May Bank Holiday Monday.
Over fifty people came along to find out about some of the people buried in the Graveyard behind All Saints Church and in the Cemetery in Park Road where they have recently restored gates.
After this weekend's walk there will be two remaining, Battles of Brentford on 24 September and another chance to do the Brentford Waterways walk on 15 October.
Over 50 people attended the most recent walk
There is more information about these walks and others in the borough at www.hounslow-heritage.org.uk.
The Hounslow Heritage Guides organise guided local history walks on Sunday afternoons every summer in Brentford, Chiswick and Isleworth with additional walks planned, in some walking seasons.
All walks can booked as private guided tours as required. For more about local history walks see Exploring Hounslow Borough's Heritage. The guides reserve the right to cancel any walk without notice in exceptional circumstances.

We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets. We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.
