Tower Bridge tug and lighters
A Tower Bridge tug and lighters, some of which contain barrels. A lighter is a flat-bottomed boat used for transporting cargo.
Sandra Flett was a semi professional photographer who lived in Chiswick. She could see the Thames from her house and writes ‘We have lived near the river for years and it has become part of the background of our lives’. For her, the river was a ‘geographical backbone’ linking together the disparate parts of London.
