Located approximately 17 miles (27 km) west of central London and adjacent to the Greater London boundary, it is an urbanised parish with some industrial development and open land.

History
[edit | edit source]The parish was formed on 1 April 1995. Most of Colnbrook had been from 1974 in the parish of Iver in South Bucks district in Buckinghamshire, and before 1974 had been mostly in the parish of Horton, with small areas in Langley Marish. Poyle had been in the unparished borough of Spelthorne in Surrey (before 1974 forming part of the Staines Urban District of Surrey which had transferred from Middlesex in 1965). The new parish became part of Berkshire, and was the last boundary change before Berkshire County Council was abolished in 1998 and replaced by several unitary authorities.[3]
