  • 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.

  • 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.
