The Making of Modern Twickenham, by J.M. Lee

From the rear side cover: Twickenham grew as a town during the twentieth century with a strong sense of history. New residents wanted to see development that seemed appropriate to what had been a fashionable country parish for the aristocracy and gentry had enjoyed having a villa by the Thames. The local council had to consider how to treat the grounds of the great houses as they fell into disuse. This book examines the character of the town's grow after the decision of the council in 1901 to accept the scheme of London United Tramways to build tramlines from Harnmersmith to Hampton Court. It demonstrates how frequently the needs of Greater London as a whole set the agenda of local politics. This thoroughly researched book follows the many twists and turns that led to the Twickenham of today...
