Water is the lifeblood of Shepperton, and it has shaped its history and community in ways that are both fascinating and vital. In our latest chat, we dive deep into the waterways that define our village - from the mighty Thames, which has served as a crucial trade route since Saxon times, to the Queen Mary Reservoir, which dramatically altered the landscape and lives of locals when it was built in the 1920s.
