Born the fourth child of Michael Longridge CBE of Bowdon, Cheshire (President of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers 1917-19), he was educated at Manchester’s Malvern College and Owen’s College. He entered St. George’s Hospital with a science scholarship in 1897 and qualified with first-class honours at Manchester in 1900. He received his doctorate in 1901 and the Fellowship in 1902.

He served as house surgeon at the Soho Square Hospital for Women and the Manchester Hospital for Children at Pendlebury, was resident medical officer at Queen Charlotte’s Hospital, and edited the Clinical Reports 1905-08. He then settled in practice in Cheltenham and became obstetric surgeon to the Victoria Home and medical officer to Cheltenham Ladies College. He was an examiner for the Central Midwives Board.
During the WWI he served in Egypt and France, with the rank of Captain RAMC. He returned to Cheltenham, before moving in 1925 to become resident medical officer at Lancing College, Shoreham, Sussex. In 1927 he moved into practice in the neighbouring town of Worthing.
A brilliant and accomplished model engineer, Longridge constructed a model of the SS Meriones, which was exhibited at the Model Engineer Exhibition and won the Admiral Cup.
