Welcome to the Isleworth Society Website
A Walk Through HistoryIt's been a long time coming but at last it's here. The Rivers and Byways walk leaflet, published by the Isleworth Society, was launched on Wednesday June 16th with a social on board the Cathja barge.
The colour leaflet, complete with maps and beautifully illustrated, describes a circular walk through Isleworth parks, along the Duke of Northumberland's River, and by the Thames. The complete walk, of 3 ½ miles, takes over two hours at a gentle pace, but no need to do the whole walk at once - even just reading the leaflet is a pleasure.
Funding from the Awards for All Lottery and the Isleworth and Brentford Area Committee (London Borough of Hounslow) has financed the leaflet. Among many contributors special mention should be made of Christine Diwell, who dreamt up the route, Kevin Hicks (design and photography) and the artists of Cathja barge who contributed the line drawn illustrations.
The leaflet is currently in course of being distributed to be available free at local libraries, museums, Isleworth Public Hall, churches and community halls.
