Hounslow’s Middle Saxon recognition restored

On the way back from a meeting of the Mortlake Crematorium Board during the spring, safe on the north bank, it was disappointing to see the removal of the county coat of arms from near the borough boundary (with Kew, Surrey) at Kew Bridge Road, Brentford, Middlesex.
