This link shows an overlay of present day Heathrow (as photo) on an 1892-1914 OS Map. Use the slider on the left to view.
You can use you own location and choose which historic background to use.
Fascinating!  :y

Yep. And you can see that Heathrow Hall once stood just to the South of 27R/09L, right above the tunnel.
