More about this scene

As every schoolchild knows (or used to), the tidal Thames finishes at Teddington. The main river is crossed by this spindly-looking suspension bridge of 1888, seen here from the lock island. To the left of The Anglers, out of view, are the famous Teddington TV Studios, while the boathouse to the right is the home of the British Motor Yacht Club.

Born in Teddington in 1945. Lived in Clarence Road until 1958, then moved to the "Con Club" in Stanley Road. My brother and I were both in St. Albans Choir along with another pair of brothers, Ian and Cliff Williams, who both now live in Australia. My brother and I live in the USA, Colin in Dallas, Texas and me in Indianapolis, Indiana. Remember Father Simmons and choir master, Norris Marshall. A grand building.
