About Us

Hounslow & District History Society was formed in 1960.

Meetings are held on the last Tuesday of each month from September to April (except December).

IN THE AUTUMN ’25 TO SPRING ’26 SEASON WE WILL HOLD FOUR MEETINGS  – THE SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, MARCH AND APRIL MEETINGS – at HOUNSLOW UNITED REFORMED CHURCH.   FOR THIS SEASON’S  NOVEMBER, JANUARY, and FEBRUARY MEETINGS, MEMBERS WILL BE INVITED TO LOG-IN TO ZOOM WEB-CAST PRESENTATIONS OF LOCAL HISTORY TALKS. Please see the Events Calendar page of this web site.

THE HONESLAW CHRONICLE (the twice-yearly journal of the H&DHS) is published in March (Spring) and August (Autumn) each year and is sent to all members of the society.

Meetings are normally held in the hall of United Reformed Church, on the corner of Chapel Road and Hanworth Road, Hounslow, near the Treaty Centre. Since the coronavirus pandemic began in the spring of 2020 we have often held meetings from our homes using the ZOOM on-line conferencing facility, which the society now purchases annually. Non-members are welcome to attend meetings for a visitors fee of £2.00.

Annual Membership costs £15.00 per person, per calendar year, or £22.00 for couples and households; Associate Members who do not normally expect to attend the society’s meetings but will receive its mailings and journal can pay £10.00 yearly.

Thank you for your support of the Hounslow and District History Society.

Archives and Local History Research: the society does not hold historic archives (other than its own minutes and papers), instead, its members and officers direct prospective donors or enquirers to the Archives and Local Collections of Hounslow’s Library Service, to which they have also contributed over many years.
