Hounslow Central Station. 1st April 1886 Between Hounslow East and Hounslow West
on the Piccadilly Line. Metropolitan
District Railway. The line on which it was built originally no longer exists.
This line went at first to a station then called Hounslow Town which had been
closed, and is now the site of the bus station. this station was opened to
replace it and called Heston-Hounslow.
It was originally just a corrugated iron building. However for a while
there were various loop arrangements and the old station was re-opened. 1909 the loops were closed and the present
system was set up. 1912 new
station buildings were opened . 1925 renamed Hounslow Central . 1933 Piccadilly
Line services began .1964 District Line
services were withdrawn
Town Hall of 1857

Town Hall. Hounslow Civic
Centre. This modern well detailed and elegant building is set within the
pre-existing landscape of Lampton Park. It was planned from 1965 designed in
house by a team headed by the borough architect George Trevett that included
B.E.T. Noble and I. Tawrycewski. Built in 1972-6 it is composed of four square
low rise pavilions linked by a central reception area all built of reinforced
concrete clad with bands of Portland stone above abase of engineering brick.
The civic areas are housed in one pavilion with a self contained twelve side
council chamber expressed extremely as a drum at its centre. Under the first
hand influence of contemporary German planning the principle of Burolandscaft,
or open plan landscaped office', was adopted. This flexibility was even
extended to the members' suite. A single large area that can be subdivided into
temporary rooms' or, left clear for
public functions. Special attention had to be paid to sound insulation as in
addition to the usual traffic noise the building is under Heathrow flight
paths. Completing the concept of the civic centre, a landscaped setting by Jakobsen Landscape Architects, was
carried out in 1976-8. This includes a hedged car park a pebble-and boulder
garden, linear pools, a ha-ha, and contoured mounds
The Lawn, Regency house excellently restored by Haslemere Estates in 1975. It stands at right angles to the road in

windows and
ground-floor verandas with elegant fringed ogee hoods of cast iron.
