Place Name
The small surviving section of Ferry Lane, the rest of it since renamed as Ferry Road and Verdun Road. This was the final section that followed the ancient route from Barn Elms to the Chiswick Ferry that would cross to Chiswick Church, which until the building of Hammersmith Bridge in 1827 was the only direct way of getting to the other side between Putney and Kew. There had been a ferry service across the River Thames since at least the 16thCentury it ended sometime around the 1930s. The charge was two pence per passenger and the final boat was named the Amie Edie.
