Isleworth Studios is the common name of two former film studios in Great Britain.
Worton Hall Studios
Worton Hall Studios were based on Worton Hall, in Isleworth. This house was built in 1783 and rebuilt and extended in the early 19th century. In 1913 it was acquired, together with a nine-acre estate, by film producer George Berthold Samuelson. The ground floor rooms became dressing rooms, canteen, wardrobe and other offices; the upper rooms became bedrooms for any staying overnight. Filming of Conan Doyle's A Study in Scarlet began in summer 1914 and the studios were officially opened on 1 July.
Samuelson gained publicity by producing a fictitious newsreel during the early years of the 1st World War and over the next few years many silent films were shot here, many based on famous novels such as Little Women. In 1922 the studios, generally known as Isleworth Film Studios, were sold to British Super Films, in which Samuelson retained an interest. However, in 1928 an expensive lawsuit with the American actress Betty Blythe forced Samuelson to sell Worton Hall to British Screen Productions.
Isleworth (/ˈaɪzəlwəθ/) is a small town of Saxon origin sited within the London Borough of Hounslow in west London, England. It lies immediately east of the town of Hounslow and west of the River Thames and its tributary the River Crane. Isleworth's original area of settlement, alongside the Thames, is known as 'Old Isleworth'. The north-west corner of the town, bordering on Osterley to the north and Lampton to the west, is known as 'Spring Grove'.
Isleworth's former Thames frontage of approximately one mile, excluding that of the Syon estate, was reduced to little over half a mile in 1994 when a borough boundary realignment was effected in order to unite the district of St Margarets wholly within London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. As a result, most of Isleworth's Thames-side is that part overlooking the 3.5-hectare (8.6-acre) islet of Isleworth Ait: the short-length River Crane flows into the Thames south of the Ait, and its artificial distributary the Duke of Northumberland's River west of the Ait, one of two Colne distributaries constructed for aesthetic reasons in the 1600–1750 period.

Finally made my Old Isleworth Walking Tour to the London Apprentice along the RIver Thames
After so many requests especially for those who are now living outside of London, I finally managed to walk around and do a video around the Old Isleworth. Apologies, it was a bit longer this time because I tried to walk where many have asked me to look around. I hope you enjoy watching this video of Isleworth Town.
The weather is a little bit gloomy but still a fantastic walk. I commenced my walk from the Old Bells Almhouses, this is now called Raybell's Court in Linkfield Road. I then explored the lovely St John's Gardens and went out to St John's Road. I passed the Bridge and looked over the Duke of Northumberland River where the sluice gate to ancient river that starts from Lampton is located.

Isleworth 747
Used to live in San Diego
up on Golden Hill
Had a certain fascination
with the British Airways 747
Guess I knew where I was heading
San Diego was a pit stop
just like Portland, Oregon
and snowy SUNY Cortland
and the hills of New Jersey
I miss the tomatoes
I miss the sandwiches
I miss the old home
I think it's why I always watch the news
Just like my good old dad
Sitting in the living room
Smoking his Pall Malls to the bone
or stubbing them out half done
or letting them burn
one by one
Isleworth
is my favourite place in the whole world
everybody loves the airport

I then followed the road and came across the Mill Basin where the remains of the old water wheel is located. I then went down to Church Street and pass the historic London Apprentice.
I then continued my walk to the beautiful All Saints Church and visited the site of the Plague Pit where 149 people died during the Great Plague of 1665.

FACTS ABOUT ISLEWORTH:
Isleworth has been a riverside settlement for over 4000 years. Neolithic remains have been found between Syon House and Brentford, and a Roman settlement is known to be situated on the ham in Brentford.
Origin of the name Isleworth
695 – Gislheresuuyrth – from an Anglo Saxon Charter
1086 – Gistelesworde – The Domesday Survey
1301 – Istelworth – Roll
1415 – Ystelworth – Roll
1540 – Istyllworth – Local documentation
1593 – Thistleworth or Gistelesworth Norden and Lysons, historians
1635 – Istelworth and Istleworth – Moses Glover Map 1635 (two spellings on map)
1702 – Istleworth – shown on a memorial in the parish church
1742 – Isleworth – on an engraving by Thomas Preist
Medieval Isleworth
The Domesday Book 1086 mentions a settlement in Brentford recorded as Gristelesworde in the hundred of Honeslaw. The Hundred of Honeslaw includes the parishes of Isleworth, Heston and Twickenham. There was a priest, 2 Knights and 117 villeins, borders and cottars resident in the village, with two mills and and a fishing weir. There is no record of the time when the first church was built. The tower of the present church is 14th Century.
All Saints Church
There was a religious house in Isleworth under and beside the present Syon House.
This Abbey housed a Swedish order of Bridgettine Nuns who built Syon Abbey.
Tudor Isleworth
In 1539 Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries and the Bridgettine nuns were forced to leave Syon and settle in Flanders.
In 1541 Queen Katherine Howard was imprisoned at Syon for three months. The Royal Barge that took her on the fateful journey to the Tower of London left from Isleworth stairs. King Henry VIII died in 1547 and his body was rested over night at Syon on route from Westminster to Windsor for burial, with a large train of knights and noblemen some four miles long following the hearse. The King had been dead for two weeks and the remains were swollen. The body of Henry rested in the Church which is assumed to be in the Abbey at Syon.
The Isleworth Ferry
The ferry at Isleworth started in the reign of Henry VIII. This crossed the river from the steps in front of All Saints Church and went across the Thames to Old Deer Park.
A second ferry was established in Isleworth towards the end of the reign of
George III. This was situated at Railshead in front of Gordon House and carried pedestrians and carriages to Sheen. This ferry was still operating in my youth (approx 1959) and the Ferry man was Mr Con Dargon.
Life & Death in Isleworth
One 17th Century resident Sir Thomas Ingram came to Isleworth in 1656 and lived in Shrewsbury Place which stood on the site of Lion Wharf. Sir Thomas founded the oldest alms house in Isleworth in 1664 in Mill Plat.
The great plague of 1665 took the life of 149 local residents. A stone in the church yard marks the Plague Pit. Many of the victims in the City of London were shipped out by barge and buried in Isleworth.
After so many requests especially for those who are now living outside of London, I finally managed to walk around and do a video around the Old Isleworth. Apologies, it was a bit longer this time because I tried to walk where many have asked me to look around. I hope you enjoy watching this video of Isleworth Town.
