  • THE NATURAL LANDSCAPE 2.72 the River Thames Is London's Best Known Natural Feature. It Twists and Turns Through London, Changi
    THE NATURAL LANDSCAPE 2.72 The River Thames is London’s best known natural feature. It twists and turns through London, changing from a large freshwater river at Hampton into a saline estuary in the east. The river forms a continuous green corridor stretching through London, between the countryside and the sea. 2.73 The nature conservation importance of the linear features of the river channel, mudfl ats and banks cannot be separated from the land in the river corridor. The stretch between Hampton and Kew has Access to the river is particulary the largest expanse of land designated with Site of Special Scientifi c good along the Arcadian Thames Interest status in London. 2.74 For centuries, people have been fascinated by the River Thames, and it continues to attract and inspire local residents and visitors from central London and abroad. Part of the great attraction of the river is the accessible experience of tranquil nature among the concrete and asphalt of the city - the fl ash of a kingfi sher, the bright colour of a wildfl ower or a sudden cloud of butterfl ies have a special resonance in the urban setting. One of the main aims of the Strategy is to ensure the continued balance between wildlife conservation and public access and enjoyment. The Thames is London’s best outdoor classroom 2.75 Over the centuries, the land and the river have been infl uenced by man’s activities. No habitat in London is truly natural which means that we have a particular responsibility to continue to manage the area in ways that conserve a mosaic of attractive habitats and to take special care of rarities.

  • The Pubs, Inns and Beer Houses of Brentford Introduction the General
    The Pubs, Inns and Beer Houses of Brentford Introduction The general history of the development of public houses has been well documented elsewhere. Although ale had been drunk since the Bronze Age, formal drinking establishments probably originated when tabernae (taverns) were set up at points along the road network built by the Romans from the 1st century. As well as providing facilities for travellers and pilgrims, inns traditionally acted as community gathering places. In Brentford the heyday of inns such as The Three Pigeons and The Coach and Horses was during the 18th and early 19th centuries when travel on horseback and in horse-drawn coaches was at its height. The consumption of gin, introduced from Holland in 1586, eventually gave rose to a new kind of establishment where customers were served at a bar and they drank standing up. Partly to discourage the drinking of gin the Beerhouse Act of 1830 allowed any householder to sell beer and cider on the payment of a two guinea fee to the Excise. The number of beer shops then grew very rapidly in areas such as Brentford and concern about this situation led to the passing of the 1869 Wine and Beerhouse Act which was designed to curtail the number of outlets. All drinking establishments, including beer shops were then brought under the control of local magistrates. However many houses that did not obtain a full licence managed to continue in business providing that the house conformed to all legislation and was kept orderly. These continued to simply sell beer and cider.

The bank is almost completed and the Culvert In 1792 James Barnes (1739-1819), Civil and Pipe for the discharge of the water is Engineer (and a Banbury brewer), was building.’ i In December 1811 he was able to commissioned by the Marquis of report that the reservoir had been completed, Buckingham to make a preliminary survey of was nearly full of water and showed no signs a probable route for a canal.
