This exhibition follows the history of boat building yards on the tidal Thames, between the Thames Barrier and Teddington Lock.

As part of the project, Working River, this exhibition will explore the working lives of boat builders such as Mark Edwards and Bill Colley at Richmond, and Edward Leppard on Eel Pie Island. The project has recorded the stories of the working boatyards, their incredible history, and their legacy on the Thames today. The exhibition will include a documentary film about the boatyards, produced by Digital:Works.
