Around Heathrow Past and Present

Philip Sherwood's new book compares old and new scenes of an area that is now dominated by Heathrow Airport. The village of Heathrow has disappeared, but there are still vestiges of a village atmosphere to be found elsewhere - even through this corner of the south-east has probably seen more changes in the last sixty years than anywhere else in Britain. Around Heathrow Past & Present, written by the district's premier local historian, will be of interest to anyone who lives in this part of west Middlesex, whether long-time residents or recent arrival.
