The nearer block of boarded up properties is numbers 131 - 134. These can be picked out on the New Brentford Tithe map of 1838.

The next block further away is numbers 129 & 130, two properties when the High Street was numbered in 1876. The 1865 OS map shows no. 130 as a public house.

The sign of the Magpie and Crown at no. 128 is just visible: the Magpie and Crown is now set back a little compared with no. 129/130, but originally it shared the same building line as them.

Just beyond the Magpie & Crown the entrance to Boars Head Yard is visible, then the County Parade.
