The following is an extract from "The Villages of Harmondsworth" edited by Philip Sherwood and published by the West Middlesex Family History Society in 1993. Longford village green was in front of the 'White Horse' but some energetic person with a large family must have cultivated part of it and then put a fence around it to keep dogs and children from trampling his crops. No one stopped him, which was just how it was back then. Later, some equally energetic person would decide that a potential building site on The Square should not just grow vegetables, so Maywin Cottages were built, in 1861, with a low brick wall on two sides.
