Brentford railway station opened in 1860 on the Brentford Branch Line (the only line of the Great Western and Brentford Railway Company) which had opened in 1859 from Southall to Brentford Dock.[1] It stood immediately north of Brentford High Street (the A315 road) on the embankment leading to the viaduct into the dock. The station closed on 22 March 1915[2] as a wartime economy measure,[3] re-opened on 12 April 1920[2] and closed permanently in 1942.The station was demolished in 1957.
