Heston 1935

Heston in 1935 in a fascinating series of reproductions of old Ordnance Survey plans in the Alan Godfrey Editions, ideal for anyone interested in the history of their neighbourhood or family. Two versions have been published for this area. The 1894 map shows Heston as a rural Middlesex village, surrounded by orchards or market gardens and open countryside to the west, with a clutch of roads or lanes (Fern Lane, Norwood Green Road, Smoky Lane, Church Lane), St Leonard`s church, some pubs, Heston Hall, Heston Farm and a few other buildings. To the south is the hamlet of Sutton. Cranford Lane meanders across the map. The 1935 map is more developed and includes Heston Airfield; scheduled services started here in 1933 with flights to the Isle of Wight and Chamberlain famously flew from here to meet Hitler. This map includes a 1933 directory of Heston.About the Alan Godfrey Editions of the 25″ OS SeriesSelected towns in Great Britain and Ireland are covered by maps showing the extent of urban development in the last decades of the 19th and early 20th century. The plans have been taken from the Ordnance Survey mapping and reprinted at about 15 inches to one mile (1:4,340). On the reverse most maps have historical notes and many also include extracts from contemporary directories. Most maps cover about one mile (1.6kms) north/south, one and a half miles (2.4kms) across; adjoining sheets can be combined to provide wider coverage.FOR MORE INFORMATION AND A COMPLETE LIST OF ALL AVAILABLE TITLES PLEASE CLICK ON THE SERIES LINK.
