The district is rapidly developing in nearly all directions, the
great majority of houses that a.re going up being of the working
class type, valued round about £600. Great use is being made of
the Small Dwellings Acquisition Act, and the Housing Act, particularly
the former.
The large buildings of the Brentford Board of Guardians are
situate at the Eastern end, and receive inmates from the constituent
parishes of : —
Acton, Chiswick, Ealing, Greenford, Hanwell, Heston and
Isleworth, New Brentford, Old Brentford, Perrivale, Twickenham
and West Twyford.
Taken on the whole the district may be said to be comparatively
flat from end to end.
