Heathrow House was built in the 18th century.

In 1839 Heathrow House was owned by a Richard Langslow, who lived here until the 1850s. Langslow’s daughter married Sir Frederick Pollock, 3rd Baronet, who lived in Temple Hatton, a house in nearby Hatton.

By 1872 a market gardener was living there, and thus likely that the house was being used as a farmhouse by then.

War damage reinstatement plans of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street
Whilst clearing my elderly Mothers house of general detritus, I’ve come across original plans (one on acetate) of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street. Might they be of interest or should I just dispose of them? There are 4 copies seemingly from the one single acetate example. Seems a shame to just junk them as the level of detail is exquisite. No worries if of no interest, but thought I’d put it out there.

No 36 Upper East Smithfield
My great great grandfather was born at No 36 Upper East Smithfield and spent his early years staring out at a "dead wall" of St Katharine’s Docks. His father was an outfitter and sold clothing for sailors. He describes the place as being backed by tenements in terrible condition and most of the people living there were Irish.

Name origin
Interestingly South Lambeth derives its name from the same source as Lambeth itself - a landing place for lambs.

But South Lambeth has no landing place - it is not on the River Thames

George Gut (1853 - 1861)
George Gut, Master Baker lived with his family in Long Lane.
George was born in Bernbach, Hesse, Germany and came to the UK sometime in the 1840s. In 1849, George married an Englishwoman called Matilda Baker and became a nauralized Englishman. He was given the Freedom of the City of London (by Redemption in the Company of Bakers), in 1853 and was at that time, recorded as living at 3 Long Lane. In the 1861 census, George Gut was living at 11 Long Lane.

Middlesex Ploughing Match, Cain’s Lane, Heathrow (1908) The ploughing match was held annually in the Heathrow area until the outbreak of the Second World War. This scene was later buried under the runways for the new London airport.

Cain’s Farm Dairy milk float (1900s) This photo is evocative enough but the southern runway of Heathrow was built over the top of Cain’s Farm in 1944, obliterating the farm, its dairy herd and the previous life in the small hamlet of Heath Row, Middlesex
