Summary[edit]

Description
English: Map of the local area later superimposed with the outline of Gatwick Airport boundary, in green. The map without this addition dates to between the 1920s and 1950s.

Author: Chris Cogdon Based on a CC-BY-SA-2.5 licensed image from the Commons: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/86/Aa_oldgatwick_00.jpg The green outline was created by superimposing a map from Google Maps and tracing the indicated airport boundary. The part of the airport east of the railway has become mostly car parking. Link to Google Earth view of the same area now The original Gatwick Manor is by the northwest end of the racecourse/golf course marked; partly blurred by the map's old crease. Comparing old and new maps indicates that the modern Gatwick Manor hotel is not the Gatwick Manor shown at the time but a rename for another old building, near Lowfield Heath.
