1884 map of the River Thames
On the strap line of the home page (near the Society’s logo) and – if you scroll down the home page contents – there are links to an 1884 Map of the River Thames. This appeared just five years before the Three Men embarked on the their journey from Kingston. Who knows, they may even have had a copy of this same fold-out map!
