Product Description
Product Description
This illustrated history of Heathrow tells the story of the district from the earliest times, recalling the earliest recorded human activity in the area over 2000 years ago and showing the district's slow development from medieval times. It also looks at the controversy surrounding the building of the airport and the obliteration of the landscape of farmhouses, cottages, fields and gardens by hangars, runways and hotels. The impact of the airport's continuous development upon the lives of the local people is explored.
