Waterfront - From Battersea to the Barrier - Nicholas Waldermar Brown,

This large format book records the riverside as at 1st January 2000.
The author took 120 rolls of film from the towpath and from a boat which Graham Reed then converted into 570 A4 drawings which are used to illustrate every building along the London Thames from Battersea to the Thames Barrier. A team of researchers then documented the buildings to provide accompanying texts.A remarkable book, five years in production, which would please any Thames or London enthusiast.
