Tables & Chairs, Strawberry Hill House

The grounds of Strawberry Hill House are open as a park, and there is a cafe. No takers for the terrace on a cold Autumn day.

Borough of Twickenham, Spencer Road

An old street name sign with the former local authority name embossed into the metalwork. Painted over but still obvious, The Borough of Twickenham was the local authority here from 1868 up to 1965 when it became part of the London Borough of Richmond.

Rabbit by the River

One of a number of carved wooden birds and animals in Kneller Gardens. This is beside the River Crane which is flanked by parks, gardens, nature reserves, playing fields etc. for much of its course. No doubt the main reason for this is flood plain, but it does provide a corridor of open space through an otherwise very built up urban area. A cycleway goes along beside the river at this point.

Richmond Green Gym

A patch of land beside the River Crane where volunteers have created a small orchard amongst other growing things. A small part of a whole strip of open space which lines both sides of the Crane for several kilometres, no doubt acting as flood plain, but also providing recreation space like here, plus allotments and nature reserves as well.

Hampton Waterworks

These waterworks were established by 1855 as all water for London had to be taken above the tidal sections of the river Thames i.e. above Teddington lock
