About Southall - show infohide info

Southall is a suburb in the London borough of Ealing. Southall has a population of approximately 51400 inhabitants. The town expanded thanks to expansion of the Grand Junction Canal (now the Grand Union Canal), which links London to the rest of the Canal network (and was one of the last to carry regular commercial traffic). The canal allowed a number of industries to spring up, including the manufacture of bricks, flour and chemicals. In 1877, the Martin brothers set up a ceramics factory in the town, which produced the distinctive 'Martinware' ceramic products until 1923. A selection of products from the factory are on display in the Southall Library.
