    This is a post-print version of an article which will appear The London Journal, 40(3) (2015), Special Issue: 'London's River? The Thames as a Contested Environmental Space'. Accepted 15 July 2015. Whose River? London and the Thames Estuary, 1960-2014* Vanessa Taylor Univ. of Greenwich, [email protected] I Introduction For the novelist A.P. Herbert in 1967 the problem with the Thames was simple. 'London River has so many mothers it doesn’t know what to do. ... What is needed is one wise, far- seeing grandmother.’1 Herbert had been campaigning for a barrage across the river to keep the tide out of the city, with little success. There were other, powerful claims on the river and numerous responsible agencies. And the Thames was not just ‘London River’: it runs for over 300 miles from Gloucestershire to the North Sea. The capital’s interdependent relationship with the Thames estuary highlights an important problem of governance. Rivers are complex, multi-functional entities that cut across land-based boundaries and create interdependencies between distant places. How do you govern a city that is connected by its river to other communities up and downstream? Who should decide what the river is for and how it should be managed? The River Thames provides a case study for exploring the challenges of governing a river in a context of changing political cultures. Many different stories could be told about the river, as a water source, drain, port, inland waterway, recreational amenity, riverside space, fishery, wildlife habitat or eco-system.

The Thames Water Authority (TWA) in England pro­ vides such comprehensive water services to the entire Thames River Basin including metropolitan London; an area of 5000 square miles with a population of 12 million. In recognition of the possible application of such a con­ cept to complex urban areas of the Great Lakes, the prin­ cipal investigator spent six months as a participant-observer with the Authority and provides a detailed description of its organization and operation.

The day started off with a visit to the nearby boatyard operated by Fox Narrow Boats where we were met by Paula Syred, daughter of the late Charlie Fox who had established the business in 1959. Members were given an interesting presentation of how the company had developed before looking round the marina and being able to inspect two of the current hire boats – Leisurely Fox and Silver Fox - both of which looked extremely smart. And then it was back to St. Marys where we were fortunate in being able to look round the recently restored church that had suffered an arson attack four years ago. Members then enjoyed an excellent luncheon laid on by Margaret Martin and her team before turning to the formal business of the day. 2 The Director’s Report and Accounts for the year ending 30 June 2013 were duly, approved before Alan Faulkner, David Mercer and Jeff Walters were re-elected as Directors and John Cordran was re-elected as Accounts Scrutineer. Chris Black then gave a full report about the progress on the North Walsham & Dilham Canal and the meeting concluded with a report by Chairman Roger which centred round the Environment Agency’s reduction in dredging and maintenance.
  • Colne Valley Park: a Brief History

    Colne Valley Park: a Brief History

    Colne Valley Park: A Brief History The Colne Valley Regional Park was established in 1967 View of the Park today to preserve areas suitable for leisure, recreation and con- servation to the west of London, between Rickmansworth and Staines. The area that is now the Park has been val- ued by different people for different reasons at different times and many of those long since dead former inhabi- tants of the area have left traces of their way of life. Palaeolithic (400, 000 – 8, 500 BC) The earliest traces of people in the Park date to around 400,000 BC. During this geological period (the Pleisto- cene) vast sheets of ice advanced from Polar regions to cover much of Britain. There were numerous climatic changes with cold or ‘glacial’ phases, alternating with more temperate ‘interglacial’ phases. The dramatic changes in temperature are associated with changes in flora and fauna. It was during this period that rivers de- posited gravel, silt and sand within the Colne Valley, and it has been during gravel extraction that evidence for this period has been recovered. During the milder periods Chorleywood Stone Age people would have inhabited the region. Colne Valley RICKMANSWORTH Evidence is limited due to the changes wrought on the Park: landscape by the ice and all that survives are remains of Maple Cross abraded flint tools, moved from their original location and Chalfont Common re-deposited in riverbeds. Yiewsley (just outside the bor- Chalfont St Peter Harefield ders of the park) is one of the most important sites in Europe for this period, and the earliest tools found here Gerrards Cross are crudely modified rocks.

E., R i v e r S uperintendent a n d H ydrographic S u r v e y o r , P o r t o f L o n d o n A u t h o r i t y . The Port of London Authority exercises jurisdiction over that part of the Thames which flows from Teddington Lock (approximately) to a line joining Havengore Creek in Essex and Warden Point in Sheppey, Kent. To depict the changes in the hydrography of the channels, creeks, whar­ ves, bridges and dock entrances the survey of the river requires continuous attention. CARTOGRAPHY. Within the dock system a regular watch is kept to maintain depth, as a considerable amount of silt in suspension finds its way inside the tidal gates. The triangulation and surveyor’s working sheets are connected with those of the Ordnance Survey and are divided up into convenient lengths of river, more or less identified with the Reaches so well known to mariners. The survey sheets and the scales on which they are projected are enumerated in the following table. LIST OF SURVEYS — RIVER THAMES TIDEWAY Chxvt Section of River.

    London LOOP Section 11 Hayes and Harlington to Uxbridge

    V1 : July July 09 V1 : London LOOP Directions: Leave the station, and turn right down Station Road. Go Section 11 straight over the mini roundabout, cross the canal bridge then turn right at the end of the bridge into Western View. Take the steps on the right which Hayes and Harlington to Uxbridge lead down to the towpath of the Grand Union Canal and the London LOOP. Turn right at the bottom of the steps and go under the bridge. The picturesque Grand Union Canal links London to Birmingham, which supposedly has more canals than Venice! It’s the longest single canal in Britain stretching 135 miles. Start: Hayes & Harlington (TQ098795) Squeeze through the metal kissing gate, and keep following the towpath. Station: Hayes & Harlington Finish: Uxbridge (TQ051845) On the right is a traditional cast-iron milepost saying ‘Braunston 87 Miles.’ Station: Uxbridge The reason behind the mileposts was to tell approaching boaters the distances to the end of the canal and to assist in the collection of tolls. The Distance: 7.5 miles (12 km) G.J.C. on the mile post stands for the Grand Junction Canal, the original title of the ambitious 93 mile long canal approved by Act of Parliament in 1793 to link Braunston in Northamptonshire with Brentford in London. Introduction: A good section for enthusiasts of waterside walking, as over two-thirds follows canal, river or lake. After a few hundred yards there is another kissing gate. Go through and keep following the path under a modern brick bridge. This is an easy walk on mostly level ground with a few short climbs.
