Old Ford

- Old Ford is also an area of Bow, London named after a crossing of the River Lee.
In the fictional universe of J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, the Old Ford is the point where the Old Forest Road crossed the River Anduin, about forty miles (sixty-four kilometres) downriver from the Carrock. In older times, the river was crossed by a stone bridge here, but by the end of the Third Age, the bridge had long since disappeared, and the crossing was no more than a simple ford.
