Teddington Lock - probably Edwardian period The left of this view looks very different now as the gravel pits were filled after the war with rubble from the Blitz. There are still plants and trees that have grown from the soil that was taken along with the rubble.

Tennyson moved to Chapel House, Twickenham in 1840. In 1850, Tennyson reached the pinnacle of his career, publishing his masterpiece, "In Memoriam A.H.H.". Later the same year, he was appointed Poet Laureate, succeeding William Wordsworth. Tennyson moved to the Isle of Wight in 1853 and on to West Sussex in 1869. TUM image id: 1649274622 Licence:	Eel Pie Island, River Thames (c.1910) It was once a bubbling cauldron of British rock ’n’ roll. There was a five-month period in 1963 where you could see the Rolling Stones play there every Wednesday. The Who, Pink Floyd and Screaming Lord Sutch all did gigs at the Eel Pie Island Hotel, a rickety nineteenth-century ballroom that was lost to a fire in 1971.

It is famous for its beauty - and for being the only view in Britain specifically preserved by an Act of Parliament. Old London postcard TUM image id: 1635871705 Licence:

Credit: Thomas Way TUM image id: 1629904272 Licence:	Montpelier Row, Twickenham was developed in 1721 by a Captain John Gray. It was possibly called Montpelier Row as it may have resembled the health resort of Montpellier in France.

A road runs around flat-roofed blocks in either a three-storey H-plan configuration with a central entrance stairwell or a two-storey terraced configuration, enclosing shared courtyards. The courts are named after English-language poets. The quality of the design means it holds up as a fine example of preserved modernist architecture.

Teddington Lock - date unknown There’s a story here - just don’t know what it is! Old London postcard TUM image id: 1635960225 Licence:	The Island Ferry, Twickenham (c.1910) Old London postcard TUM image id: 1635873726 Licence:	As World War One opened, Germany invaded hitherto-neutral Belgium causing an influx of Belgian refugees. Both Richmond-upon-Thames and Twickenham across the river opened their homes and their hearts to the refugees. For four years between 1914 and 1918, these two communities became a little ’Belgium beyond Belgium’. TUM image id: 1653930971 Licence:	During the First World War, many Belgians came to work and live their lives around the Pelabon Works, Twickenham. Sports clubs, drama groups, orchestra and choir, and shops opened to serve this large, new community.
