The gallery of photographs show changing views of the River Thames in London and the natural environment and architectural heritage of the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. Both London and Cyprus, with its historic port of Famagusta, now in Northern Cyprus, are important backdrops to the history of European trade in luxury commodities ranging from tea, silk and Baltic amber to gemstones, spices and pigments. Early English porcelain factories of the 18th Century were established close to the River Thames at Limehouse, Bow, Vauxhall, Chelsea and Isleworth. English delftware was made in workshops adjacent to the River Thames close to Southwark Cathedral and the present-day Borough Market.
