Kingston
|
|
(Kingston upon Thames, 137,000 in 1991) Borough of Greater London; administrative centre of the county of Surrey. Much rebuilt in recent decades, it has been a town of importance from *Anglo-Saxon times as a place where the Thames could be forded. There has been a bridge since the 13C. The local museum contains a surprising bequest – the photographic archives of a native of Kingston who emigrated to the USA, Eadweard *Muybridge.
