The main feature, however, is Hounslow Barracks, where the engineer Goldsworthy Gurney demonstrated his steam carriage to the Duke of Wellington. Cavalry barracks were established here, midway between London and Windsor, in 1793 and they were expanded in the 1870s.
Nearby is Woodlands, incl St John’s church, part of Isleworth; Spring Grove & Isleworth station is near the east end of the map. At the foot of the map are Worton Hall and Worton Farm. Many orchards and market gardens between these communities remind us of the area’s traditional occupations.
