Letter from the Chair LETTER FROM THE CHAIR It is my sad duty to report the death of Angela Carvill who organised our Events for some 20 years, retiring in 2014. Many of you have enjoyed the trips she organised, the coffee mornings at Peg Woffington's and the Merits lunches both of which she originated. About two dozen of us were able to attend the celebration of her life organised by her family on August 11th at Strawberry Hill House and a full goodbye will be in the next issue of Tidings. If you would like to contribute a memory in a few words please send it to me. Our sympathies go out to her children: Paul, Steve and Emily. I'm sure that they, and you, will be comforted in the knowledge that two ladies driving by where Angela had fallen in the street stopped and stayed with her until an ambulance arrived. They were true Good Samaritans and we thank Vivienne and Diane. We have a lot on our plate at the moment with the Udney Park Playing Fields development, expansion of St Mary's University Teddington Lock campus, the threatened Cycle Route in the High Street and the skyscraper flats to be built on the Informer House site to name but a few. Helping hands are always welcome. So do offer your services. As Alan Benns has emigrated to the Isle of Wight, Nick Picton has taken on the website and bulk emailing duties. In his spare time he's tackling the straightening of the Mo Farah gold pillar box in North Lane which until recently was listing like the bell tower of Pisa! Congratulations go to Mo for becoming the world's greatest distance runner when he won his 10th global title at the recent IAAF World Championships where he took Gold in the 10,000m and then got Silver in the 5,000m. We welcome Alan Rolph, now our official film maker, and his first epic is the Pram Race and Village Fair film which is on the website. Alan Benns (Teddo the Clown) will still be organising the Pram Race but meanwhile you can read about this year's successes inside. We also welcome the Rev. David Innes to the Methodist Church where his welcome service is on 5th September at 7.30pm and all are invited. SHEENA Publicity & Promotions (inc.

We live in a beautiful part of the world, with rivers and parks all around us, as well as a High Street full of great character. And with the advent of high quality cameras built into the mobile phone, everyone is now an amateur photo-journalist. But thanks must especially go to Brian Holder and Peter Denton who have supplied many of the photos in this and other editions. The photo at the top of this page was taken at one of the Teddington Society Committee Meetings, so now you know what everybody looks like. During the summer, there have been many photo-opportunities. We have had Teddington in Flower, the Village Fair and, of course, the Pram Race. Choosing just the right photos has been quite a challenge. And, with Teddington800 being celebrated this year, the Sports Day in Bushy Park was a riot of colour for the eight Teddington clubs taking part in the tug- of-war, the sack race and the three legged-race. The Golden Pillar Box which celebrates Mo Farah's medals in 2012 has been leaning over at an alarming angle, so we thought that a photo was well overdue. But, would you believe it, the Council came and straightened it before our photographer could get there! If only they were equally quick at mending our cracked pavements.

    LETTER FROM THE CHAIR May I welcome you to your Summer Tidings as the 12th Chairman of the Society? A big thank you to everyone at the AGM who voted me into the chair and voted for the talented Alan Benns to be our 10th Vice Chairman. You can read more about Alan inside and our two newest group leaders: James Sinclair and Andy Weston. We have a busy time ahead with Teddington in Flower, The Village Fair and Pram Race and the River Festival. We hope most of you will take part either by attending the events or helping us run our stall. We have a new venture at the Park Hotel and that's Afternoon Cream Teas. Bring your friends along and try it out for the first time on June 3rd or come alone and make new friends. The council have taken it upon themselves to put free hanging baskets in each village to complement the Rugby World Cup. Baskets will be planted in World Cup colours - blue, pink and white. We will get 50 placed in the High Street, Broad Street, Victoria Road and Station Road from May-October. We will get 16 baskets in the winter. The Landmark Arts Centre is celebrating its 20th anniversary in November by installing 5 decorative panels telling the history of the building. The Society has donated £500 towards the £2,000 needed for the task. The vinyl panels put up by LBRuT to conceal the derelict Bottoms Up site in the Causeway have been removed as the site is being refurbished at long last.

This will allow the river between Richmond Lock and Teddington Lock to drain down at low water on each tide.” In simple terms, low tide is very low! This will continue until 18th November. For river users it is a time to take extra care, while for others it is a chance to don wellies and dabble in a bit of mudlarking.

  • 1 Start and Finish at St Mary with St Alban Church
    A WALK IN TEDDINGTON: 1 Start and finish at St Mary with St Alban Church The old village of Teddington stretched from the river to the railway bridge, which was the site of the village pond through which the railway was built in the early 1860s. The church of St Mary (1) was the old parish church, parts dating from the 16th century. During the incumbency of the Rev Stephen Hales (1709-61) much rebuilding was carried out, the north aisle and the tower being added. The church was too small for the increasing population and in the 19th century more enlargements were carried out until a new church seemed to be the only solution. So the church of St Alban the Martyr (2) was built on the opposite side of the road. The building, which is in the French Gothic style on the scale of a cathedral, was opened in July1896. However, plans were over-ambitious and the money ran out before the west end of the nave was completed. When the new church was opened the old one was closed, but not everybody liked the new church so St Mary’s was repaired and services were held in both churches until 1972. By this time the number of worshippers had diminished and running expenses had risen so much that two churches could no longer be maintained. St Alban’s became redundant and was to be pulled down. Vandals damaged what remained of the internal fittings and part of the copper roof was taken before the destruction was stopped.

The second features a tram making its way past the Post Office in Hampton Hill High Street. The London United Tramways Company intended that Fulwell should be the centre of a vast and great tramway network. Before 1901 all public transport had been horse drawn and each horse drawn bus had needed 11 horses to run a 60 miles per day service. Trams running on rails and powered by electricity were modern, clean, efficient and glamorous.
