The frontage of the Pyrene Building on the Golden Mile portion of the Great West Road, Brentford, Middx, UK. Apr 2010
Designed by Wallis, Gilbert and Partners. "The Golden Mile is the name given to a stretch of the Great West Road north of Brentford running west from the western boundary of Chiswick in London, United Kingdom. It was so called due to the concentration of industry along this short stretch of road. This section of the Great West Road was opened in 1925 in order to bypass the notoriously congested Brentford High Street and several factories of architectural merit were rapidly built along the road to take advantage of both the good communications it provided, and the easy availability of land for new buildings. Many examples of the Art Deco architecture remain." Wikipedia
