    We have published two versions of this map, showing how the area changed over the years.

    The 1894 map shows Heston as a rural Middlesex village, surrounded by orchards or market gardens, and with open countryside to the west. A clutch of roads or lanes - Fern Lane, Norwood Green Road, Smoky Lane, Church Lane - have houses on them, and St Leonard's church, some pubs, Heston Hall, Heston Farm and a few other buildings form the village. 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; Chamberlain famously flew from here to meet Hitler. This map includes a 1933 directory of Heston.
