The settlement pre dates the Roman occupation of Britain, and thus pre dates the founding of London itself. Many pre Roman artifacts have been excavated in and around the area in Brentford known as Old England. Bronze Age pottery and burnt flints have been found in separate sites in Brentford. The quality and quantity of the artefacts suggests that Brentford was a meeting point for pre Romanic tribes. One well known Iron Age piece from about 100 BC to AD 50 is the Brentford horn cap, a ceremonial chariot fitting that formed part of local antiquarian Thomas Laytons collection, now held by the Museum of London. The Celtic knot pattern on this item has been copied for use on modern jewellery.
Brentford Dock lock gates and Justin Close Brentford Dock is a basin off the Thames, with modern housing around it. The former Brentford GWR Station view eastward on Brentford High St. The station, on a branch from Southall to Brentford Docks, had been on the left. The passenger station and the service from Southall were closed in 1942, but although Brentford Dock was closed in 1964, goods trains ran to Brentford Town Goods until 1970.
Brentford is the first point on the tidal portion of the River Thames which was easily fordable by foot. Partly for this reason it has been suggested that Julius Ceasar crossed the Thames here during his invasion of Britain in 54 BC, and the Brentford Monument outside the County Court asserts that a battle took place here at this time between Ceasars forces and Cassivellaunus. In his own account, Ceasar writes that he crossed the river 80 miles from the sea, and Brentford is this distance from his supposed landing beach. He further states that the river bank was protected by sharp stakes. During the building of Brentford Dock many such oak stakes were discovered. Dredging the river uncovered so many more that they had to be removed, for they were a hazard to navigation. Although Ceasars descriptions are compelling, there has been no archaeological proof that this was the spot where he and his army had to fight to cross. It must also be kept in mind that Julius Ceasars own accounts suffered in some part to his embellishment of the facts.
