West along the Longford River towards Heathrow Cargo Terminal
View from the bridge on Beacon Road which crosses both this and the Duke of Northumberland's River to the north, just before entering the roundabout on the Southern Perimeter Road. Both watercourses divert water from the River Colne, the Longford (c. 1640) to supply water features at Hampton Court and Bushy Park, the D.O.N (c. 1530) to irrigate the Duke's estates. The two rivers run parallel to each other in concrete channels for around 6 km around the western and southern airport perimeters separated by a narrow grass "central reservation".

The Longford River near Heathrow
On the left is the Longford River and hidden to the right is The Duke of Northumberland's River. To the south of Heathrow Airport and its Southern Perimeter Road, the two waterways run parallel and it is possible to follow a track between them. Here they are known as the Twin Rivers.
Charles I ordered the construction of the totally artificial watercourse known as the Longford River to carry water from the River Colne to the water features in Bushy Park and then on to the Long Water in Home Park at Hampton Court. The Longford River opened in 1638.
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.
The Southern Perimeter Road is beyond the Duke of Northumberland's River to the right and Stanwell Road is beyond the trees to the left. The lamp posts of both roads can be seen.

Side by Side Rivers
Two rivers, the Longford and the Duke of Northumberland's, once followed separate courses over the area which is now Heathrow Airport. Both rivers were diverted to flow around the edge of the airport, still in individual channels at slightly different levels but only a few metres apart.
