AREA TOPOGRAPHY, Etc.
The Urban District of Teddington has an area of 1,196
acres of land and 18 acres of water, making a total of 1,214
acres. The sub-soil is almost entirely composed of gravel and
sand.
The boundaries are:—
North—The Urban District of Twickenham.
South—The Urban Districts of Hampton and Hampton
Wick.
East—The River Thames—about 1½ miles of its course
—which separates Teddington from the
Borough of Kingston-on-Thames, and
the District of Ham in the County of
Surrey.
West—The Parish of Hanworth, which is a portion
of the Rural District of Staines.
Teddington Lock and Weir are too well known to require
any description: at this point there is a footbridge connecting
the two adjoining Counties (Middlesex and Surrey) and below
this the Thames is tidal.
The District is divided into four Wards, viz.:—Fulwell,
Upper Teddington, Lower Teddington and South Teddington.
About 25 acres of Bushy Park come within the boundary.
There is a small public recreation ground overlooking the river,
and in the Fulwell division there is a golf course of about 190
acres.
