My Ancestors Worked on the River Thames

Rob Cottrell has produced this 130 page illustrated and informative CD to advise family history researchers where along the river wharves, jetties, piers, power stations,markets, dockyards, churches, boatbuilder’s yards, waterman’s stairs and riverside taverns were located. The contents comprise an alphabetical listing of over 1000 named places with a brief description, location and, in the case of 40 of them, illustrations. We find, for instance, Bull Stairs as a set of waterman’s stairs situated on the South bank of the Thames in King’s Reach between Hope Wharf and Bulls Stairs Wharf between Waterloo and Blackfriars bridges.
At £9.95 plus £1.05 p&p to UK addresses (£2.25 overseas) complete with a map of the river, a useful guide for anyone with ancestors who worked on the Thames or resided in Thameside parishes.
