Summary edit
| Description |
English: Longford River at Bedfont - water for Hampton Court. This is an artificial river about 12 miles long. The "This is Longford" website http://www.thisislongford.com/LongfordRiver.htm tells us it was dug on the orders of Charles 1. In 1638 he wanted water from the Colne to supply Hampton Court. The river runs from Longford, now at the north east corner of Heathrow Airport. Until recently it ran under the airport, but with the building of the 5th terminal it has been diverted around the south of the airport. The river remained crown property, and some bridges over it have the royal cypher. |
