A 1960s colour photo of the River Thames at Strand on the Green, Chiswick, during low tide in 1960. The image captures the historic brick facades of Georgian and Victorian riverside houses and the pleasure boat ‘Royal Princess London’ resting on the exposed riverbed alongside several dark wooden barges. In the distance, the iron structure of the Kew Railway Bridge stretches across the water, framed by a large leafless tree on the riverbank. This scene showcases the architectural detail of the period buildings and the traditional river traffic common during the latter half of the 20th century.
Today, the historic houses along the riverbank remain standing and are highly sought-after residences, with many of the pubs and buildings in this row now protected as Grade II listed structures. The Kew Railway Bridge is still a major transport link for the District Line and London Overground, though the commercial barges and the ‘Royal Princess’ have since been replaced by modern pleasure craft.
