The Borough's Bye-Laws
The Borough’s Bye-Laws have been kindly published by the Council, and as a result, the law abiding citizens of Twickenham need to be on their guard so as to ensure that they do not transgress. There appears to be different sets of rules applying to the three parts of the Borough united when the London Borough came into existence in 1965. Although there are a lot of similar provisions, those for Twickenham affect us and make interesting reading, perhaps.
Dating from 1929 is a delightful rag-bag of restrictions, made for the better Governance of the then Borough of Twickenham and still, it seems, in force.

A Magnificent Young Man in His Flying Machine
Saturday February 17th 1912 was a beautiful day. After the recent spell of cold, damp weather people shopping in St Margarets were pleased to be out enjoying the bright sunshine, a clear blue sky and the gentlest of breezes…
It was approaching midday when they heard the sound of an aeroplane approaching from the south. Aircraft were rare enough in those days for them to stop and point and wonder at the marvel that was passing overhead.
Instead of the expected two-winged biplane appearing over the rooftops, this plane was a monoplane, a Martin Handasyde, with a single wing supported by bracing wires. The machine was low enough for those on the ground to see the pilot sitting behind the controls. Douglas Graham Gilmour had taken off at 11.00am that morning from the airfield at Brooklands on a short testing flight. He told his mechanics that he would return within an hour. This was not to be.
