This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures an aerial perspective of Heston, West London, taken on 16th July 1968 during a flight’s final approach to Heathrow Airport. The image provides a detailed view of the post-war suburban landscape, featuring long rows of terraced houses with remarkably long, narrow back gardens filled with vegetable patches and sheds. To the left, the Norman Crescent estate is under construction. The surrounding area includes allotments and open green spaces, reflecting the semi-rural character that still existed on the fringes of London at the time. This archival print is a fascinating record of mid-century urban planning and residential life, making it an excellent resource for local history research or as a unique piece of vintage aerial wall art.
