Eric de Maré : Time on the Thames

A recurrent theme in Eric de Maré’s work is his interest in inland waterways, in particular the Thames. His concern for the built environment also extended to the natural environment and in 1950 (The Architectural Review: The Thames as a Linear National Park, July 1950) he advocated that the Thames between Cricklade and Teddington be designated a ‘linear national park’ to protect it from uncontrolled development. He continued his exploration of the Thames with the publication of Time on the Thames (1952).
