  • Kew Bridge Conservation Area Is Small but Distinct
    KEW BRIDGE Boundary: Map 27, note that this post-dates the UDP and UDP map Date of Designation: 1st June 2004 Date of Extension: Additional protection to the area: Listed grade l status of Pumping station; other listed buildings; partially in Thames Policy Area and Nature conservation area; partially in buffer zone of Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew: World Heritage Site. Special Architectural and/or Historic Interest The conservation area is based upon the topography and confluence of historic routes at the junction of the Thames crossing point: and their effect; also those of industrial uses of the area, and its workers, on the built environment, in particular the buildings now occupied by the Kew Bridge Steam Museum. The special architectural and historic interest of the area lies in the industrial character created by the pumping station and its associations, and the high quality of architectural style achieved for them: because of their importance and their location. The Bridge itself is important as an architectural landmark. The conservation area is partially residential in character and also displays a degree of commerce, business and industry that grew up in the area. The scale of these, including the fine station building, is small, and immediately adjacent buildings to the conservation area have a retro style. Two large commercial buildings of the middle twentieth century, nearby, which have been over clad and modified to become residential, are outside the conservation area. The pumping station is the dominating building within the area. It was designed by William Anderson, for the Grand Junction Waterworks Company, to extract river water from the Thames.

  • Kew Shops:Then and Now
    Kew Shops:then and now CAROLINE BLOMFIELD In June 2003, after selling our bookshop by Kew Gardens Station, we set up an exhibition celebrating one hundred years of shopping in Kew. The exhibition was held in a historic venue, the old workshops of Station ROYAL Avenue. They had just undergone complete renovation as a stylish studio 'So.,.Afo..,) \<;. complex, and the owners kindly lent us a large ground floor space. The ....ls exhibition was open to the public for just two days, and to our amazement we had almost 300 visitors. In view of this unexpected response, we are publishing our findings, in the hope that others may attempt something similar - and ideally even more wide-ranging - in their own communities. For most of the 20th century there were four main shopping areas in Kew: the original Kew village around the Green and along Mortlake Terrace; the full length of Sandycombe Road; the west side of the station, known today as 'The Village'; the east side of the station at the top of North Road, part of which has now been landscaped and pedestrianised as 'Kew Plaza'. (Until 1920 there was also a further small row of shops along the Lower Richmond Road, between the south ends of North Road and Dancer Road, called North Parade: these were demolished when the A316 was widened around 1930.) We decided to research these four areas and to try to establish how shops and shopping have changed in Kew, and to what extent premises that were retail businesses one hundred years ago were still operating as shops, and to what extent the goods and services demanded, and thus provided, have changed over the years.

You must visit boatingonthethames.co.uk to check tide times and safety advice before undertaking this trail. T ravel amongst the historic ghosts of London, if you dare, on this phantom packed paddle! We recommend you paddle with the assistance of the tidal flow, departing from Putney in the first 2 hours of the flood tide. Closely timing the tides can allow a return trip. 1. Put in at the public slipway, crossing to the Fulham side of the river and turning left, for correct rules of travel. You are alongside the grounds of Fulham Palace. Can you spot Bishop Bonner who tortured Protestant prisoners during Tudor times and is thought to still stalk grounds? 2. At Hammersmith Bridge, beware of the tide pushing you into Dove Pier after the bridge. 3. At just over 2 miles you are level with the Black Lion area of Hammersmith on your right. A ghost in the 1800's here was blamed for the death of a local woman, who collapsed and died a few hours after witnessing the entity. A hunt for the spook resulted in another local man being shot & killed by mistake (he was wearing white clothing).
