  • Traffic Noise Maps of Public Parks in Hounslow May 2018
    Traffic noise maps of public parks in Hounslow May 2018 This document shows traffic noise maps for parks in the borough. The noise maps are taken from http://www.extrium.co.uk/noiseviewer.html. Occasionally, google earth or google map images are included to help the reader identify where the park is located. Similar documents are available for all London Boroughs. These were created as part of research into the impact of traffic noise in London’s parks. They should be read in conjunction with the main report and data analysis which are available at http://www.cprelondon.org.uk/resources/item/2390-noiseinparks. The key to the traffic noise maps is shown here to the right. Orange denotes noise of 55 decibels (dB). Louder noises are denoted by reds and blues with dark blue showing the loudest. Where the maps appear with no colour and are just grey, this means there is no traffic noise of 55dB or above. London Borough of Hounslow 1 1. Beaversfield Park 2. Bedfont Lake Country Park 3.

    FELTHAM GREEN & TOWN CENTRE Conservation Area Appraisal April 2018 FELTHAM GREEN & TOWN CENTRE Foreword I am pleased to present the Feltham Green & Town Centre Conservation Area Appraisal. Feltham Green and Town Centre are important parts of Feltham and valuable parts of the heritage of the borough. This appraisal builds on the original conservation statements for Hounslow’s conservation areas and has been reviewed as part of a comprehensive review of Hounslow’s conservation area statements. The purpose of the appraisal is to provide an overview of historic developments and key components that contribute to the special interest. This appraisal will also identify positive and negative contributors as well as opportunities for improvement in order to inform a comprehensive understanding of the conservation area. In addition to the conservation area appraisal review, we are also updating the council’s local list, which recognizes buildings of local importance and celebrates Hounslow’s diverse architectural heritage. We hope this document will play a significant role in the future management of the conservation area and will be a guide for developers, residents and planners.

  • Heritage Varieties Factsheet
    Jam Yesterday Jam Tomorrow is a community led project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund to uncover and restore the history of market gardening in Middlesex through research, oral histories and the building of a model market garden to showcase traditional methods of growing and lost varieties. To find out more visit: www.jamyesterdayjamtomorrow.com. Heritage Varieties Factsheet 1 Historical Context Throughout the 19th century, the economy of Middlesex was dominated by the need to feed London’s booming population. Parishes along the river, and those within easy walking distance of the hungry markets of London, became centres for commercial agriculture. Over time the rapid expansion of London’s urban area forced out market gardeners from central London into the southwest suburbs, and a number of Enclosure Acts allowed common grazing land to become market gardens. Farmers became horticulturalists, and farms became market gardens and orchards. The arrival of the railway to Twickenham, Teddington and Whitton in the middle of the-century allowed market gardeners to move away from the river, deeper into Middlesex. In many areas, employment in agriculture exceeded that in trade, manufacturing, and handicrafts. Gradually, however, as London continued to grow, house- building for the new ‘commuter classes’ began, and orchards began to give way to houses. The industry peaked in the 1870s, and then moved to the Hampton area, where large glasshouses allowed growers to Keens Strawberry was produce fruit and vegetables more efficiently. Several of the Hampton a popular local variety nurseries continued to thrive through the Second World War and after, from which the until their land was finally built upon to become Nurserylands housing modern strawberry derives.
