The Duke of Northumberland's River
The Duke's river and its younger companion the Longford River have flowed side by side all around the perimeter of Heathrow Airport. Now they have parted company, with the Longford heading for the Thames at Hampton Court and the Duke's continuing eastwards to join the River Crane just over 1km downstream from here.

Longford River in East Bedfont
The Longford River is an artificial watercourse, built in 1638 on the instructions of King Charles I, and about 12 miles or about 19 kilometres long, that takes water off the River Colne and diverts it to provide a supply to Hampton Court Gardens. The river has had several different names in the past. For example the 1895 Ordnance Survey map refers to it as "Queen's or Cardinal's River".
This is the view looking downstream from the A315 Staines Road bridge. On the old Ordnance Survey map this was called White Bridge.
