Description

Hayes and Harlington Through Time by Philip Sherwood is a unique collection of photographs showcasing the area's fascinating history. From its early days as an agricultural community to its growth into a thriving industrial centre, Hayes and Harlington have undergone significant changes over the years. The arrival of the Grand Union Canal in 1794 and the Great Western Railway in 1864 marked important milestones in the area's development, while the twentieth century saw a diverse range of industries move into the area. This transformation led to rapid growth, with new workers needing somewhere to live, shaping the Hayes we know today. This book presents a fitting showcase for the area, featuring a selection of historical and present-day photographs compiled by local historian Philip Sherwood.
