Surveyed in 1814 by Peter Potter, Kentish Town'. A scarce survey map of the Hammersmith to Hounslow turnpike road, most likely prepared for the Turnpike Trust to accompany the Commissioners’ report or a submission to Parliament.

The extreme western edge of the map now lies at the eastern end of Heathrow Airport. . Surveyed by Peter Potter. J. Bacon sculp, 131 Holborn Hill. Published 1814 [dated].
