About This Book
A richly illustrated local history follows a modest London tributary from its headwaters through suburbs into the Thames, documenting its ponds, wells, conduits, and lost open reaches, and describing the spas, pleasure gardens, markets, and everyday trades along its banks. It also provides a detailed institutional history of the adjacent prison and related courts, explores riots, crime, punishments, and popular entertainments, and collects anecdotes, maps, and engravings that record vanished urban landscapes and social customs.
