Environmental History Guide to researching the River Thames
A guide to the environmental history and governance of the River Thames and its river basin.
The guide has been created by the 'Running the River Thames' project at the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ (2011 to 2013). One of the main aims of the Thames project was to provide a public resource for anyone interested in finding out more about the environment of the river and its history. Some sections of this website reflect the project's focus on the past fifty years, but several sections also consider the period since the mid nineteenth century.
