English: Longford Pump beside the London to Bath Turnpike (Bath Road) in Longford and 500 metres north of Heathrow's runway 9L. Forget the aircraft landing or taking off every minute, let us go back to the days when horses were the fastest means of transport. This pump is nearly 3 metres tall to enable tanks on carts to be filled for laying the dust - see Poyle Pump description. This and Poyle Pump (right) were kindly erected by the Colnbrook Turnpike Trust circa 1827 (see this inscription - the date of 1754 given on this inscription is too early).
