[edit] Significant expansion

I've expanded this article, largely based on Gillian Clegg's excellent book on Chiswick. It still feels a bit light on contemporary description and heavy on history.

[edit] Sailing club

Strand on the Green has a sailing club that mostly sails on Sundays. I had heard it said when a child that the Island in the middle of the river was called Oliver's Island as Oliver Cromwell had hidden there at one point. Don't know if this was just local myth tho' Also local history - the riverside used to have a large number of boat builders (wharfs) and ferry crossings. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 135.196.1.86 (talk • contribs) 17:44, 29 October 2006.
