Some of the most beautiful views of London are those from the many bridges which span the River Thames. Millions of people cross over the Thames every day but most are too concerned with reaching their destination to notice the structures they use, let alone consider their history or the risks taken in building them. Triumphs of architecture and engineering, London's bridges have inspired artists as diverse as Dickens and Monet. From the elegant Richmond Bridge to the Gothic, quintessentially British Tower Bridge, they have formed the backdrop to battles, rebellions, pageantry and mysteries for two millennia. Crossing the River tells these stories, including the assassination of a dissident with a poisoned umbrella on Waterloo Bridge; the apparent suicide of 'God's banker', an Italian financier with links to the Vatican, the Masons and the Mafia; and the Marchioness tragedy and its controversial aftermath. Featuring illustrations and photographs old and new, this book will undoubtedly increase the reader's knowledge and appreciation of the bridges and the people who built them, and thereby enhance the pleasure of seeing them, whether at leisure or stuck in a traffic jam.

Do you live or work near the Thames? Do you own a boat or holiday on its waters? Do you walk its towpaths or frequent its pubs, cafes or restaurants? If so, then this is a book for you. If you, or anyone you know, like days out and discovering new places or have an interest in the history of charming towns and villages in a most beautiful part of England, or are fascinated by life in the past or are intrigued by the different types of bridges, walkways, tunnels, ferries that have existed along the river, then, again, this book is for you. Travelling along the complete length of the river from its source in a field in Gloucestershire to its estuary where it meets the tides of the North Sea, I have photographed every public crossing. With each one I have provided information about what exists today and some history about previous crossings on the site. The book gives you a flavour of life on the river over past centuries and takes you back to a time when barges were towed up and down carrying goods, when tolls were charged to pass over and under and across, when traction engines were too heavy for ancient bridges, when gradients were too steep for wagons and carriages and carts and when timber bridges were more of a hindrance than a help in crossing the waters of the Thames. Uniquely, photographs and writing combine in a potpourri of design and information and impressions of the 152 crossings that feature in this book.

The London Stone at Staines marks the ancient western boundary of the jurisdiction of the City of London. The Lord Mayor and Corporation’s conservancy of the Thames extended east from there as far as Yantlet in Kent. This is the stretch of the river documented in 'Liquid History'. Drawing on the resources of English Heritage’s unrivalled photographic archives, the book records a journey along the length of the tidal river and over almost 150 years. We see the rural Thames as it approaches London, riverside towns, the civic and commercial development of the riverbanks, the working docks and warehouses, the development of the web of bridges that now links north and south, barges, sailing ships and warships, the great flood defences and a tiny beach that flourished briefly at the Tower of London. Featuring the work of pioneers of photography and some of the great topographical photographers of the 20th century, and with a fascinating commentary by Stephen Croad, 'Liquid History' chronicles the ebb and flow of the life of the river.
