This was the s**thole I spent my afternoon in today.
Bedfont Court Estate was built after world war 1 by middlesex county council. Each of the small houses were built with a small piece of land for farming.
In 2001, due to M25 widening, Heathrow T5, and the digging up of gravel, the area was emptied by compulsory purchase.
Today there is about 10 houses. Each are in a pretty bad state but still have old nicknacks and furniture inside.
The area is quite charming and feels rural, other than the heavy planes grinding overhead.
At the end of the estate sits Martinoil Ltd, a derelict oil disposal and recycling unit.
All pretty done in, but ticked my boxes of closeness and ease. And it was a nice mix of residential/industrial/farming.
I talked to a local on the way out. The last to leave was the granny in number 14. She was stubborn to the end. She was a fond musician despite the noise from the sky and it was in her house that I found the piano.
The Houses-
on the road outside the road of interest was this nice beaten up van-
The first 2 houses
The Piano Players House-
