  • Wakefield Amateur Rowing Club, 1846 – C.1876
    ‘Jolly Boating Weather…’ Wakefield Amateur Rowing Club, 1846 – c.1876 Nowadays rowing is typically viewed as a socially elite sport: that of grammar schools, universities and gentlemen. Whilst this is true to a point, historically rowing has cut across boundaries of class as much as any other sport. During the nineteenth century most sports, including rowing, were divided into three broad classes – working or tradesmen who made their living on the water as watermen or boatman; middle class and gentlemen amateurs; and those who made their living from the sport, who came from the working or middle class. This last group, the professional sportsmen rowers, were the equivalent of today’s superstars from football or rugby; the Clasper family or James Renforth from Newcastle had a massive following as true working class heroes who made a living from their prize money and boat-making skills. Harry Clasper (1812 to 1870) and his brothers were some of the first superstar sportsmen of their day and also the earliest professional sportsmen – in other words they were able to live from their winnings and what we would now term sponsorship. Rowing races and regattas were seen by the middle and gentry classes as a polite summer entertainment and also as the off-season equivalent of horse racing, with prizes and wagers commonly running into several hundreds of pounds. Regattas were established in London on the Thames before 1825 – the ‘Lambeth,’ ‘Blackfriars’ and ‘Tower’ regattas were held that summer with prizes being as high as £25.1 Most towns with access to a good stretch of water established Rowing Clubs, generally as an ‘out door amusement’ but increasingly during the nineteenth century for the ‘improvement of the working classes’ and ‘bringing out the bone and muscle of our English youth..

  • Rowing and Harness Racing
    Saint John: A Sporting Tradition 1785-1985 Brian Flood Chapter 2 Rowing and Harness Racing Rowing Who are these chaps? What on earth are they doing in Paris? They have come to row. Oh, God help me. Was there ever a crew like Saint John’s own Paris crew? Some say they were the greatest four-oared crew that ever sat in a shell. Whether you believe they were or not depends on what reports of them you read. Regardless, they certainly were a unique four- some. In a sport known for its well-schooled, highly-polished, upper class gentlemen, the Paris crew were a marked contrast. They were rough, ill-bred, tobacco-chewing fishermen. They did one thing, and they did it well: Row. They were Saint John’s first World Champions. They were the end product, the cream of the crop of over sixty years of aquatic development in Saint John. They were the stars in the golden age of rowing - an age that produced a number of champion crews. In the fall of 1856, for example, one of our local crews, one of the greatest of the era, was down in Boston for a race. The Neptune crew, as it was called, was made up of John and Dennis Morris, Ned Walsh, and John Lambert. They defeated a New York crew over a six mile course on the Charles River. The Saint John crew returned home with $2,000 in prize money and an undisclosed amount in side bets. In those days, $2,000 was a lot of money: equal, in fact, to about $60,000 on today’s market.

  • Putney Bridge Foreshore
    Site information paper information Site Putney Bridge Foreshore Introduction Currently, untreated sewage regularly overflows into the River Thames from London’s Victorian sewerage system via combined sewer overflows (CSOs). The proposed Thames Tunnel would intercept these overflows through the use of a new storage and transfer tunnel, which would link west London and Abbey Mills Pumping Station. The sewage flow would then be transferred to Beckton Sewage Treatment Works via the Lee Tunnel. The reduction in untreated sewage entering the River Thames would bring long-term benefits for the environment and users of the River Thames. In order to deliver the project we need a number of sites along the route and this document identifies our current preferred site at Putney Bridge Foreshore. Key facts Local authority: Wandsworth CSO name: Putney Bridge CSO spill volume in an average year: 68,000m³ (equivalent to approximately 27 Olympic swimming pools) Site type: CSO site Duration of main construction works: Approximately three and a half years.
