Boundary Stone on Beavers Lane
Behind the wall is Cavalry Barracks, a military site from Victorian times. This is at the south west corner and I would guess the stone marks the end of MOD land. It is inscribed WL with an arrow and N???D below, too worn away to read.

The big white roof in the lower right corner is at Heathrow Corporate Park. The dark towerblock beyond it is the Vista Centre. Viewed from a Heathrow bound flight from Glasgow.

Hounslow: The former Beaver public house
The Beaver seems to have closed its doors to business in 2009, although an article written in a November 2010 edition of the local Hounslow paper http://www.hounslowchronicle.co.uk/west-london-news/local-hounslow-news/2010/11/24/pub-reopening-will-be-boost-for-beavers-estate-109642-27708457/ stated that it was hoped that new owners would open it again in early 2011, but that is now several months ago.
Old Ordnance Survey maps show that this site, on the corner of Beavers Lane and Salisbury Road, was the location of Beavers Farm after which the nearby housing estate was named.

Hounslow: Former Hoechst House now the Vista Centre
This office block was built for the German life sciences company Hoechst around 1970, but is now in use as a multi-tenanted business building called the Vista Centre http://www.vistacentre.co.uk/main.html
The property address is 50 Salisbury Road, being at the north-eastern end of that road when it was built, although the section of Salisbury Road where it was built has now been incorporated into Chinchilla Drive.
This must be one of the last high buildings on the westward approach of aircraft to Heathrow Airport before touchdown.
