Heston is perhaps most widely known as the location of the Heston service area on the M4 motorway and for air cargo handling facilities.
Prior to 1229 Heston was part of the parish of Gistleworth (Isleworth) before being taken by Henry III, who subsequently granted it to the Earl of Cornwall.
Following his death in 1316, Heston was owned by the Crown, and later to the wardens of St Giles Hospital prior to being surrendered to Henry VIII during the Dissolution of the Monastaries.

 Middlesex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When county councils were introduced in England in 1889 part of Middlesex was used to form the County of London and the remainder formed the administrative county of Middlesex.
By 1965 urban London had further expanded and almost all of the original area was incorporated into Greater London.
The postal county included the village of Denham, which was for all other purposes in Buckinghamshire but included in the post town of Uxbridge and therefore the postal county of Middlesex; conversely Hampton Wick was not included in the Middlesex postal county as it was served by post towns based in Surrey.
