The
vision for this website came from the late Councillor Michael Jones.
It was his love for the Thames, and his fears for its future, that led
him to seek a record of the river at the millennium - his mayoral year
for the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.
Rather
than using the medium of print as he first envisaged, it was decided
to employ digitial photography and the internet to make the record always
available to all in this unique panoramic form. Everyone who loves the
River Thames like Michael has him to thank for the creation of this
website, showing our riverside as it is familiar to us now, at the end
of the 20th century.
