Here along its banks are the picture-perfect villages and manor houses; the ancient bridges, pubs and shops; castles like Windsor and the Tower of London; palaces, like Hampton Court, Kew and Lambeth; and historic houses like Cliveden, Kelmscott and Nuneham Courtney.Oxford adorns the river with some of the finest buildings in Europe, and in London istself the Houses of Parliament, Fishmongers' Hall and the Queen's House at Greenwich are but a few of the architectural splendours." 128 pages.

From 1890 to 1914, the establishment of special childrens hospitals and wards led to a number of hospitals commissioning Doulton, Lambeth (now known as Royal Doulton) to create hand-painted tile mosaics of childrens nursery rhymes and fairy tales. The tiles were recognized as being hygienic and the picture on them could be used to both amuse and cheer up the young patients. While the mosaics still adorn some hospital walls, many were destroyed, lost or damaged over the years. Today existing tiles are highly valued and efforts made to preserve and/or restore their beauty.
