Dist:0.1km<br/>The hotel, with its distinctive parallelogram-shaped footprint, is very close to Heathrow Terminal 4. Its website is here http://www.hilton.co.uk/heathrow Conrad Hilton, the founder of the Hilton chain, was born in San Antonio, New Mexico, in 1887, and died aged 91 in 1979, some time before this hotel was built.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Shrewsbury Road provides access to and from Heathrow Terminal 4 to and from the westbound A30 Great South West Road. The closely spaced short lampposts are necessary because of the risk of an obstruction to aircraft movements caused by conventionally heighted ones. An aircraft can just be seen above the horizon making a westwards approach to the airport.

Dist:0.3km<br/>When Heathrow was a pretty little airport with just three terminals, the site now occupied by Terminal Four housed a variety of maintenance hangars and cargo sheds. The hangars in this picture were used by Hunting-Clan. Earlier pictures show the whole name, but when the company renamed itself Hunting, they just took the 'Clan' off the end, explaining why the hangar looks a bit lop-sided. The aircraft is an Alitalia Boeing 727, I-DIRP.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The Longford River is an artificial watercourse, built in 1638 on the instructions of King Charles I, and about 12 miles or about 19 kilometres long, that takes water off the River Colne and diverts it to provide a supply to Hampton Court Gardens. The river has had several different names in the past. For example the 1895 Ordnance Survey map refers to it as "Queen's or Cardinal's River". This is the view looking downstream from the Hatton Road bridge. Because there is a bridge over another artificial watercourse, The Duke of Northumberland's River, a very short distance, about 30 metres, to the north, the pair of bridges are known as Two Bridges.
