Carville Hall (Brentford)

From the late 1800s Carville Hall was the home of coal and horse racing magnate William Lancalot Redhead (c1853-1909)[3] and his daughter the philanthropist Margaret Hunnam Redhead (1897-1991),[4] who later married Esmond Harmsworth, 2nd Viscount Rothermere.

[6] In 1918 the property and grounds were acquired by Middlesex County Council to make room for the building of the Great West Road.

[7] Brentford Urban District Council acquired the park as a War Memorial and open public space in an otherwise dense area of industrial buildings and housing.

[2][8] In 1959 the grounds were further divided by the building of the Chiswick Flyover above the Great West Road, now the start of the M4 Motorway.

Carville Hall Park North has open grasslands used for playing fields, a pavilion and a children's playground.
