The River Thames Revisited - in the Footsteps of Henry Taunt
Henry Taunt (1852-1922) was one of the most prolific photographers of the Victorian age. His favourite subject was the river Thames and Graham Diprose and Jeff Robins have returned to photograph Taunt’s scenes 135 years later. Taken from Henry Taunt’s ‘A New Map of the River Thames’, published in the 1870s, his photographs alongside the superb contemporary images Diprose and Robins have created a fascinating exhibition and book that ‘at once evokes a vanished world and captures the beauty of a timeless landscape’.

Water on Stilts: Reflections
Bill Pike’s waterscape paintings capture ‘Optimal visual moments, when the most-beautifully-coloured reflections...combine with intriguing wave-form compositions, and...natural tidal effects, eddying, upwelling and the fluid dynamics of water in motion’.
Bill worked for many years at RAF Abingdon’s meterological office. He has written extensively on the subject and a small display tells the story of the unit.
