Garth Groombridge photographed scenes about 30 years ago, concentrating on buildings due for demolition. His book Teddington, Twickenham & the Hamptons Past & Present provides a contrast with today’s view. Above, part of the old Red Lion Hotel pub and restaurant in High Street, Hampton. The adjacent number 3 was originally a motor and cycle works and later tyre storage premises from 1897 until 1962. Here it stands mid demolition in around 1981. Station Road is on the right. When this photograph was taken below the Red Lion had been converted and was occupied by a marketing company. No 3 is Heron Court built in 1982.
