Howard Webb has provided a scan of this postcard, postmarked 1909 and presumably from 1904, when Pennington celebrated their golden jubilee, 1854 - 1904.

Henry Wakeford Pennington's clothier business occupied numbers 161, 162 & 163. A little further along on the left was the Grand Junction Arms beerhouse at 166.

On the right is the signed Lord Nelson beerhouse at no. 154. The footpath by the railings on the left would take you down to the canal and the road can be seen rising towards Brentford Bridge. The bridge was widened in the early C20 to allow for trams

More distantly on the right part of St Lawrence's church can be seen. The trees nearby mark the gardens of the vicarage at no. 138. The substantial 3-storey building next to the church was a workmen's hostel.

Below is a scan forwarded by Howard from a second postcard published by Wakefields, which zooms in on the original view.

See details of Pennington's and other properties on the left and on the right properties near St Lawrence's church and those nearer the photographer.
