Letter from the Chair Contents LETTER FROM THE CHAIR Sadly we start this year saying goodbye to two lovely ladies, founder members of the Society, who have died. Both Barbara MacMahon and Joan Freeman contributed greatly to the success of the Society. We will miss them. The New Year party was a huge success as you'll see from the pictures inside. Next up is the AGM whose details you'll find enclosed. Come along and enjoy spectacular views of our river Thames. And we will be celebrating a couple of Royal occasions. The Queen will be 90 years old on 21 April and we, and the whole nation, will be wishing her a Happy Birthday. Teddington will also have a visit from Princess Anne on the morning of Wednesday 17 February when she will be re-opening the Park Lane Stables. Then we have Teddington In Flower, if we can get volunteers to organise it, and the Village Fair - both in June. If you have some time and some skills please offer them to us. We welcome members from everywhere. We don't discriminate as long as they have an interest in Teddington. They can be as active or inactive as they like, no matter what sex, shape or size. So if you can, please join in and lend us a hand. And if you know who cut off the pointing hand on the "To Bushy Park" sign in Avenue Road, please, we'd like it back! It'll cost over £1,000 to have another one made and neither the council nor the Society can afford that.

Sensibly they had not strayed from the marked path and After deciphering some vague instructions about were looking very smug about it! We continued through “squeezing through hedges” at the point “where the ways Upper Inglesham and onto the A361. Although this is a divide” we were again by the Thames. At this point the fast road, and there was evidence of a number of recent river is allegedly navigable but practically is overgrown car accidents we were at least confident that we were with reeds. The path here was narrow and slippery heading in the correct direction and making up lost time which made for slow going but once we got into open on a wide and flat grass verge. Then to Inglesham Church fields we increased our pace until we encountered (not visited), Roundhouse Farm which is all that remains seemingly endless fields of maize which necessitated of the former Thames-Severn canal (not visited) and a strict single file and no river views.

Map my walk reported we had travelled 12.27 miles rather than the 11 featured in our guidebook but my feet suggested that it had been considerably further than that. We were looking forward to a sit-down, a few beers and a good night’s sleep. The next morning was misty and damp when we set off back across Ha’penny Bridge towards the first lock on the river, St John’s Lock, which was built in 1790 and is home to Old Father Thames. We arrived at our second Red Lion bang on opening time. We were followed smartly by a couple of locals and a party who were launching an enormous canoe from the river bank – this was the first stage of their sponsored paddle down river to the Thames Barrier. During our second pint we were given advice on our afternoon route by the friendly landlady, who assured us that there was a new part to the Thames path which followed the river more closely and avoided the perilous “A361 between Upper Inglesham and Inglesham (which) is best negotiated by taxi”. We therefore set out refreshed and confident that we would reach our accommodation in Lechlade well before tea-time.

    Hello! March is coming in like a lion, and we at Chiswick Pier Trust have a roaring programme for you this month. First off, if you want to go on the Mothering Sunday Brunch Cruise on the 22nd March please do book your tickets as they are selling fast. And for those that are concerned - should it be necessary to cancel events due to reasons beyond our control we will offer a full refund, so please continue early booking so we can plan catering numbers.

Also, Hammersmith Bridge will be closed to pedestrians for the race so Chiswick Pier is a fantastic alternative viewing point.

  • The Industrial Revolution: 18-19Th C
    The Industrial Revolution: 18-19th c. Displaced from their farms by technological developments, the industrial laborers - many of them women and children – suffered miserable living and working conditions. Romanticism: late 18th c. - mid. 19th c. During the Industrial Revolution an intellectual and artistic hostility towards the new industrialization developed. This was known as the Romantic movement. The movement stressed the importance of nature in art and language, in contrast to machines and factories. • Interest in folk culture, national and ethnic cultural origins, and the medieval era; and a predilection for the exotic, the remote and the mysterious.

  • Twickenham Plantation
    Twickenham Plantation A Historical Timeline 1663 King Charles II signed the Charter creating the colony of Carolina in 1663. The colony then included what is now present day North Carolina and South Carolina. Initially, the colony was administered by eight Lord Proprietors who were granted very liberal authority until 1729 when the proprietors surrendered to the Crown their rights and interests in the colony. At that time, the colony was divided into the colony of North Carolina and the colony of South Carolina, each having its own governor under the Crown of England. 1685 It is believed rice was first brought to Charleston harbor about 1685 on a ship from the island of Madagascar off the east coast of Africa. At this time, a limited rice culture existed on Madagascar and on the coastal areas of West Africa. According to legend, the ship encountered a raging storm in the Atlantic and sought the safety of Charleston harbor. During its dockage in Charleston, the ship’s captain gave rice to Dr. Henry Woodward, one of the first European settlers in the area. Following some experimentation with its growing, Dr. Woodward and others found the tidal rivers near Charleston were well suited for the growing of rice. Not only did early colonist survive, they soon profited greatly from this newly found cash crop. Many planters in and around Charleston later sought additional lands including tidal river lands along the Ashapoo, Combahee and Edisto rivers which now comprise the ACE Basin. The ACE Bain is the second largest estuary on the east coast, as the Chesapeake area is the largest.
