Hounslow history

Etymology

In old records, Hounslow is spelt ‘Hundeslow’ which points to the Anglo-Saxon phrase Hundes hlāw, translating to ‘the Hound’s barrow’ or more accurately ‘the barrow of a man named or nicknamed Hound’

Hounslow Town

Hounslow was centred around the Holy Trinity Priory founded in 1211 . The priory developed what had been a small village into a town with regular markets and other facilities for travellers heading to and from London . The construction of the Great Western Railway line from London to Bristol reduced long-distance travel along the Bath Road from 1838 .

Hounslow Heath

Hounslow Heath once had strategic importance as its routes acted as a throughway from London to the west and southwest of Britain . The present northern boundary of the Heath – Staines Road – was the Roman Road later known as the Devils Highway . Oliver Cromwell and James II used the heath as a military encampment .
