FERRIES OF THE LOWER THAMES

FERRIES OF THE LOWER THAMES

Written by Joan Tucker, this book takes us on a journey down the River Thames from Staines to Yantlet Creek, near Gravesend.  She tells the story of each ferry, most now replaced by bridges, including those that have appeared in more recent years as well as long-established routes such as the Woolwich Ferry.

The story of the ferries is linked in with that of the Watermen, the ferry-boat operators, as well as that of some of England's engineering marvels, such as the tunnels that substituted the ferries on some routes.  This volume is a rich history of the ferries, accompanied by both black/white and colour illustrations.
