In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Longford like this:
LONGFORD, a hamlet in Harmondsworth parish, Middlesex; on a branch of the river Colne, 1 mile E of Colnbrook. It takes its name from a long ford on the stream; it has a fine bridge, called the Queen's bridge; and it is frequented by anglers. The tract around it lies low, and is subject to floods.
Longford is now part of HILLINGDON District. Click here for graphs and data of how HILLINGDON has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Longford itself, go to Statistics.
