Wonderful pictures and it is so amazing that after all these years objects from the past are still surfacing in the Thames.

Good pictures. It is amazing the articles that are surfacing in the Thames from the olden days. Good work.

I am still struggling to print end of the embankment photo. I lived in these flats at the end of the war Exceellent phot I want to paint it

Jim, the wall is only about 3 foot high, it is deceptive looking from the river.
I still visit the meadows quite often, a beautiful place.

brilliant pics john . during and after the war petersham meadows was a favourite spot for families to spend a day by the river , i went past the meadows by boat recentley .i remember the grass went right down to the waters edge but now there is a wall about 8 foot high . between the river and the meadows , i thought it a bit sad , jim mahoney
