Taylor Woodrow - Southhall / Northlt

[WJM]

Many of my maps show three bridge structures over the Grand Union (Paddington Branch) at Southall/Northolt. But as long as I have been on this canal there has never been anything there. I have searched all the usual places for some historic record of what was there but I have found nothing. This Taylor Woodrow mosaic is on the bank where these bridges were. Does anybody know what was there?

Not a great photo, but the only one I could find quickly online.

Excellent, thank you. Google Earth has nothing earlier than 1999 and those buildings were already gone. by then.
