Carthew Road, Hammersmith (1920s)

Carthew Road was originally part of an agricultural area called Bradford Fords

This was known for its orchards and vegetable beds in the 18th century and was irrigated by Stamford Brook.

The arrival of the Hammersmith & City Railway in 1864 greatly accelerated development and by the 1890s, Carthew Road was fully built up.
