Description: Tourists mill around the historic Cutty Sark at Greenwich. This magnificent ship is also viewed from the River Thames. There are views across the Thames to the splendour of the Naval College and of Greenwich Park and the London skyline. A packed tourist boat is seen sailing along the river. There are glimpses of the glass dome at the entrance to Greenwich Foot Tunnel which links the north and south banks of the river. The Tower of London and Tower Bridge mark the end of the river trip.
Further information: Bernard Chaplin bought his first camera with savings from work in 1958. He continued to shoot on film until he made the transfer to video in 1990. His films form part of a collection, which documents his family life and events in the Borough of Redbridge, as well as trips to central London, family holidays in the UK and abroad.
Whilst not all of these films show the London Borough of Redbridge, they are kept together as an archive of his filmmaking.
