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.

House with 'ghost' sign, Tachbrook Road
Three or four letters can be made out, but it is too faded to make any sense. In any case, it seems that part of the sign has been built over by the extension.

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.
