A bit of History....

Feltham was a very small, remote, agricultural village, completely surrounded by Hounslow Heath. The village was centred around St Dunstan's Church and St Dunstan's Road. It was not until 1848, with the construction of the railway line through Feltham that the centre moved to the new High Street and the area around Feltham Green and Feltham Pond

In 1848, the London and South Western Railway extended their line from Richmond to Datchet, through Feltham. The population of Feltham in 1851 was 1,109, an increase of only 80 since 1841, but by 1861 it had increased to 1,837. This shows that building developments throughout the 1850s followed the opening of the railway line.

By the 1880s the population was over 3000, with most people living in the area around Feltham Station.
