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:
“Commercial jazz, soap opera, pulp fiction, comic strips, the movies set the images, mannerisms, standards, and aims of the urban masses. In one way or another, everyone is equal before these cultural machines; like technology itself, the mass media are nearly universal in their incidence and appeal. They are a kind of common denominator, a kind of scheme for pre-scheduled, mass emotions.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–62)
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
