Diane Lockie has provided this photo, taken by her father around 1966.

A glimpse of no. 229 is visible far left, then the double fronted newsagents at 230, the entrance to 230a (formerly a farriers/veterinary surgeons then a garage), number 231 (formerly Pearce & Co, watchmakers, later a clothiers and premises of Kennington & Bourlet) then the former Feathers PH at 232.

St Paul's road is off to the left after 232 and the opposite corner cafe (233) is visible. There are some buildings beyond 233 but when the photo was taken they were soon due to be demolished to make way for the International Stores supermarket. (The International Tea Company, which was later to become 'International Stores' had two shops in Brentford in 1890 at numbers 88 and 339 High Street)

More information about numbers 229-232 and 233 onwards.
