Description: | The Twickenham ferry ran across the Thames just below Eel Pie Island near Ham. The island is just visible to the left of this shot.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, a number of ferries ran on this stretch of river. However, ferry trade declined during the 20th century, especially after the construction of Twickenham Bridge in 1933.
The ferry finally ceased to operate in the 1970s. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Copyright unknown - London Transport Museum collection | Subjects: | Environment Transport | Temporal: | 1920-1930 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
