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.

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 I. 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.

Bank of the Duke of Northumberland's River
This western section of the Duke of Northumberland's River was constructed during the reign of King Henry VIIIth. It takes water from the River Colne and was designed to supplement the flow to existing mills. This view looks eastwards from near the footbridge on the path just north of Richmond Avenue in Bedfont and although the bank appears in the photograph to be accessible, there is no access.
