Here are the details of maps for Hanger Hill & Park Royal: Middlesex Sheet 16.05a Hanger Hill 1895 - published 1991; intro by Maureen Gooding. ISBN.978-0-85054-422-0 Middlesex Sheet 16.05b Park Royal & Hanger Hill 1935 - published 2007; intro by Alan A Jackson. ISBN.978-1-84784-060-8 We have published two versions of this map, showing how the area changed across the years. The 1895 version is a somewhat empty map showing just how rural much of Middlesex was at the end of the 19th century, even though it includes parts of Ealing, Willesden, Acton and Hanwell parishes, and is only a mile from the great railway interchange at Willesden Junction. Features include Hanger Hill and a handful of large houses along Hanger Lane, the Grand Junction Water Works, Twyford Abbey, and several farms. By contrast, the 1935 version is filled with industry, including the western half of the Park Royal estate. A fascinating contrast.
