Walking From Three Bridges To Hanwell
I walked from Three Bridges via the Grand Union Canal and Hanwell Locks to Hanwell station.
From the canal it was a walk through houses and I didn’t take any pictures.
Three Bridges
If you read Rolt’s biography of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, you get the impression that the engineer was not a totally serious man without any sense of whimsy or humour.
A few weeks ago I read something about his last design, the unique Three Bridges, which arranges a road above a canal, above a railway. So I just had to visit.
Unfortunately, you can’t take photographs from the railway, but you almost get the impression, that Brunel intended to leave behind something by which he would be remembered. This Google Map shows the layout.

The railway is the freight only Brentford Branch Line.
