Heathrow 2000 years ago......

At approximately the location of the current T3 site, there was a rock-pit quarry where stones for the region were mined.

Circa 1850 years ago a tribe moved just to the east of the pit and immediately began to complain about the noise from the pit*. Alleged problems were extensive cracking in their caves and interference with their smoke signals.

English history is fascinating.
