Heathrow Airport History
Additional Information
Heathrow Airport originated in 1929 as a small airfieldGreat West Aerodrome on land south-east of the hamlet of Heathrow from which the airport takes its name. At that time the land consisted of farms, and orchards there was a "Heathrow Farm" approximately where the modern Terminal 2 is situated, a "Heathrow Hall" and a "Heathrow House." This hamlet was largely along a country lane (Heathrow Road), which ran roughly along the east and south edges of the present central terminals area.
Development of the whole Heathrow area as a much larger airport began in 1944. It was stated to be for long-distance military aircraft bound for the Far East; by the time the airfield was nearing completion, World war 11 had ended, and the UK Government continued to develop the airport as a civil airport. The airport was opened on 25 March 1946 as London Airport and was renamed Heathrow Airport in 1966. The layout for the airport was designed by Sir Frederick Gibbard who designed the original terminals and central area buildings, including the original control tower and the multi-faith Chapel of St George's.
