Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Thames Highway: A History of the Inland Navigation To Those in pursuit of pleasure, or more rarely of business, who navigate the pleasant reaches of the Thames above the tideway, the obstructions known as locks and weirs usually present themselves under a merely casual aspect. According to immediate circumstances you pass through and forget them: if of haste, as a nuisance whose necessity seems but slightly to compensate for the delay they entail; if of leisure and holiday, as a refreshment and cool relief for a little space from toil and the heat of the sun. At these beloved stations, set so often in the most alluring scene of their neighbourhood, it is no small pleasure to the simple voyager to be recognised and saluted by the keeper as a frequenter of the River, and shiningly to secure his spontaneous protection from some ill handled launch, or his permission to set the gates and sluices working.

Download or read book The Thames written by Mick Sinclair and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2012-04-24 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It may not be the longest, deepest or widest river in the world but few bodies of water reveal as much about a nation's past and present, or as suggestive of its future, as England's River Thames. Tales of legendary lock-keepers and long-vanished weirs evoke the distant past of a river which evolved into a prime commercial artery linking the heart of England with the ports of Europe. In Victorian times, the Thames hosted regattas galore, its new bridges and tunnels were celebrated as marvels of their time, and London’s river was transformed from sewer to centrepiece of the British Empire. Talk of the Thames Gateway and the effectiveness of the Thames Barrier keeps the river in the news today, while the lengthening Thames Path makes the waterway more accessible than ever before. Through quiet meadows, rolling hills, leafy suburbia, industrial sites and a changing London riverside, Mick Sinclair tracks the Thames from source to sea, documenting internationally-known landmarks such as Tower Bridge and Windsor Castle and revealing lesser known features such as Godstow Abbey, Canvey Island, the Sandford Lasher, and George Orwell’s tranquil grave.

Download or read book Thames written by Peter Ackroyd and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2009-11-03 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this perfect companion to London: The Biography, Peter Ackroyd once again delves into the hidden byways of history, describing the river's endless allure in a journey overflowing with characters, incidents, and wry observations. Thames: The Biography meanders gloriously, rather like the river itself. In short, lively chapters Ackroyd writes about connections between the Thames and such historical figures as Julius Caesar and Henry VIII, and offers memorable portraits of the ordinary men and women who depend upon the river for their livelihoods. The Thames as a source of artistic inspiration comes brilliantly to life as Ackroyd invokes Chaucer, Shakespeare, Turner, Shelley, and other writers, poets, and painters who have been enchanted by its many moods and colors.
