HAMPTON WICK the Thames Landscape Strategy Review 2 2 7
REACH 05 HAMPTON WICK The Thames Landscape Strategy Review 2 2 7 Landscape Character Reach No. 5 HAMPTON WICK 4.05.1 Overview 1994-2012 • Part redevelopment of the former Power Station site - refl ecting the pattern of the Kingston and Teddington reaches, where blocks of 5 storeys have been introduced into the river landscape. • A re-built Teddington School • Redevelopment of the former British Aerospace site next to the towpath, where the river end of the site is now a sports complex and community centre (The Hawker Centre). • Felling of a row of poplar trees on the former power station site adjacent to Canbury Gardens caused much controversy. • TLS funding bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund for enhancements to Canbury Gardens • Landscaping around Half Mile Tree has much improved the entrance to Kingston. • Construction of an upper path for cyclists and walkers between Teddington and Half Mile Tree • New visitor moorings as part of the Teddington Gateway project have enlivened the towpath route • Illegal moorings are increasingly a problem between Half Mile Tree and Teddington. • Half Mile Tree Enhancements 2007 • Timber-yards and boat-yards in Hampton Wick, the Power Station and British Aerospace in Kingston have disappeared and the riverside is more densely built up. LANDSCAPE CHARACTER 4.05.2 The Hampton Wick Reach curves from Kingston Railway Bridge to Teddington Lock. The reach is characterised by residential areas interspersed with recreation grounds. Yet despite tall apartment blocks at various locations on both banks dating from the last 30 years of the 20th century, the reach remains remarkably green and well-treed. -

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
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. Secondly, the Boat Race is taking place on 29th March. REMEMBER clocks go forward on that morning, so we’ll have an extra hour of very welcome light, and the boat races will be ‘later’ in the day. Also, Hammersmith Bridge will be closed to pedestrians for the race so Chiswick Pier is a fantastic alternative viewing point. Finally, for our last Talk by the Thames until the autumn, we have best-selling author of the Rivers of London series, Ben Aaronovitch, joining us for an interview on the 31st March. His latest book, False Values, was published last month and already is No 6 on the Sunday Times bestseller list, and Waterstones will be on hand selling copies of this, and his other books. Bestselling author Ben Aaronovitch will be speaking about False Value, his hugely anticipated new book in the River of London series. Ben Aaronovitch will be coming to Chiswick Pier Trust on Tuesday 31st March to talk about his hotly anticipated new book in the Rivers of London series – False Value - which is already Number 6 on the Sunday Times bestseller list. -

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. -
