Description: Feltham Magistrates' Court The Court is in Hanworth Road. The old Ordnance Survey map of 1897 shows this whole area as orchards. From an architectural viewpoint this front façade is a real dog's dinner. The central section is a very pleasing symmetrical Edwardian edifice, but the extensions on either side, although appearing contemporary with the central part, are totally out of sympathy with it and with each other. One other topical observation. At the time of the submission of this image a couple of English local authorities had just controversially announced that they were abandoning the use of the possessive apostrophe from all official use. The court is properly known as a Magistrates' Court, being the court of several magistrates, yet the title in the pediment of this original Edwardian building clearly has never had an apostrophe.
