Feltham was an urban district in Middlesex, England from 1904 to 1965.
It was based on the parish of Feltham, which had previously been part of the Staines Rural District. In 1930, the Rural District was disbanded, and the parishes of East Bedfont and Hanworth added to Feltham.
It was abolished under the London Government Act 1963, in 1965, to form part of the new London Borough of Hounslow, in Greater London.
Famous quotes containing the words urban and/or district:
“The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
