Longford History
LONGFORD, 1 ½ miles south-west, on the road to Slough, takes its name from its situation on a branch of the Colne, which supplies Hampton Court Palace: a fine bridge of one arch was erected over this stream in 1834, and is called “the Queen’s Bridge:” the district lies low and is subject to floods. Here is a small Baptist chapel erected in 1859.
