The rural scene depicted in this postcard has now been obliterated by Heathrow Airport. The Three Magpies is directly next to the airport. It is amazing it has survived. It would have been demolished if the proposed third runway had been approved. All of the other buildings in the postcard including the chapel on the right have gone.

Old postcards from the early 20th century, compared to the same view shown on Google Street View today. The postcards come from my own collection. Almost all of them are from England, mainly showing West London, Middlesex, Surrey, Berks and Bucks. Click on the postcards to see enlarged versions. Street View images are the copyright of Google.

Still there!
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteWould it be possible to purchase this image, if you have copies of the postcard, or perhaps an enlarged image of the same?
