Feltham
Feltham (pronounced /ˈfɛltəm/) is a town in the London Borough of Hounslow, West London.[1] It is located about 13 miles (21 km) west-southwest of central London at Charing Cross and 2 miles (3.2 km) from Heathrow Airport Central.[2] It is the location of Feltham Young Offenders' Institution,[3] situated near the town's border with Ashford and the neighbouring village of East Bedfont.
History
Feltham formed an ancient parish in the Spelthorne hundred of Middlesex.[4] In 1831 it occupied an area of 2,620 acres (11 km2) and had a population of 924.[5] From 1894 to 1904 the Felham parish was included in the Staines Rural District.[4] In 1901 the parish had a population of 4,534[5] and in 1904 it was split from the rural district to form the Feltham Urban District.[6]. In 1932 the parishes of Hanworth and East Bedfont were also transferred from the Staines district to the council of Feltham Urban District. The former area of Feltham Urban District became part of Greater London in 1965 as part of the London Borough of Hounslow.[7]
In 1784 General William Roy set out the baseline of what would become the Ordnance Survey across Hounslow Heath, passing through Feltham.[8] General Roy is commemorated by a local pub. The MOD Defence Geographic Centre still has a base in Feltham.
The main economic activity of the Feltham area was market gardening until well into the twentieth century. A popular variety of pea is known as "Feltham First" as it was first grown in the town. The market gardens were largely replaced with light industry and new housing from the 1930s onwards, but this is still one of the greenest areas in Greater London and includes three rivers, part of the once vast Hounslow Heath, a country park formed from converted gravel pits, and one of London's first airfields, London Air Park, which is now a large and popular public open space.
The town has also been associated with land and air transport for over a century. In what is now the Leisure West complex, the Feltham tramcar was once manufactured and ran along the tracks of many municipal operators, though never in Feltham itself. In the same area of the town, aircraft manufacture was an important industry, particularly during the war years. Feltham was also home to Britain's second largest railway marshalling yards and was a target for Luftwaffe bombs several times during the second world war.
Local government and politics
The town forms part of Feltham and Heston Parliament constituency and the South West London Assembly constituency.[9] There are two Council wards in Feltham - Feltham North and Feltham West - though locals may include sections of the Hanworth Park ward, part of which begins to the south of the railway line to the east of the high street, and even parts of Bedfont as being "Feltham".[10]
Suburbs
North Feltham, Lower Feltham, Hatton, Felthamhill (actually just inside Surrey and officially part of Sunbury).
Nearby Bedfont and Hanworth are considered sub-towns in themselves and not part of Feltham.
Redevelopment
The town is a focus for redevelopment within Hounslow.[1] The Centre, Feltham, opened in 2006, is a mixed use development of a hotel, 800 homes, 50 shops, a library and medical centre.[1]
