Thames Lighters - The workhorses
of London’s Watery Highway

Thursday 25 July 19:30
Door opens 19:10

A Friends of Honeywood Museum Event

A Talk from Alun Thomas, London Canal Museum

Until the early 1960s the River Thames was thronged with vessels of all shapes and sizes bringing goods to London. Of these, lighters were the most numerous although the most insignificant in appearance. They played a vital role in moving cargos from ship to shore and from dock to upriver wharf. These unique vessels had no means of propulsion beyond the ingress and egress of the tide.

Alun will explain how the trade developed and shed light on the life of the lightermen whose skill controlled these barges.

Seats £7 (£6 Members) - refreshments free
