What we’re thinking…
The Thames Heritage Alliance is a new organisation that hopes to become the voice for those concerned to protect and promote the heritage and of the Thames - including its historic maritime sites, boatyards and so on.
It's still a tiny acorn - but from tiny acorns might oaks frequently grow, and I hope this one does exactly that.
It's sorely needed. As we have seen at Faversham, Brightlingsea and elsewhere, the heritage of The Thames is under threat as never before from commercial and residential development and anything messy and noisy - such as working boatyards - being driven out, not least because they can't compete when waterside property values are sky-high.
