Introduction

In the Beginning

The famous Henley bridge, where later many battles would take place.

In early 1994, the district which is now known as Henley was in deep recession. Mothers were feeding their babies once a day and the children from the local comprehensive could only smoke weed twice a week. The situation was dire and was not helped when the town's leader Roberk Takuri tragically died, leaving a Power Vacuum within the society. A new leader with radical ideas was required for the small parish town of Henley to have any chance of survival. The town had been ravaged and repeatably pillaged by nearby town of Maidenhead and the Massifs which controlled it - a stand had to be taken.

The Ascension of Power

Keith Tate came to the United Kingdom in early 1988, when he emigrated from Czechoslovakia due to the increasing levels of violence against the USSR taking place. He did not seek to pursue violence, however when he fled, he led a daring escape saving the lives of 10 wanted criminals. They were being prosecuted for the dealing of Cocaine, which Keith Tate believed to be morally wrong, as he wanted everyone to be able to have the right to do as they wanted.

When Keith arrived in the UK, he spent a brief few weeks staying at a friends house in Fulham where he witnessed a large amount of crime. Men were mugging fellow members of society on the street in broad day light. Keith was disgusted at their lack of organisation and promised to himself, that if he had an opportunity at power, he would take it and make a name for himself. After Keith had found a house in Henley to live in, he moved and got a job in the nearby Waitrose.

It was here where Keith met Petetrez Andrea, who was also a refugee from Czechoslovakia. He would become Keith's inner guidance and partner. In the months that followed Keith and Petetrez had both come to the conclusion that something need to be done in order to save henley.

By July, Keith and Petetrez had assembled all the Czechoslovakian immigrants and other slavic speaking men who were willing to fight for freedom. They decided on the name 'The Riverside Crew'.

The Death of Petetrez Andrea

The very house where Petetrez Andrea lost his life.

Within days of the official founding of the gang, the Thames Valley Police's SCO19 had infiltrated the gang and found their hood. The SCO19 unit found the house where a meeting to decide The Riverside Crew's current course of action was taking place. Many of the gang members were able to escape. However Petetrez had decided to give up his own life, for the preservation of freedom and to allow his friends and fellow gang members to escape out of one of the back doors. Petetrez Andrea tragically lost his life in the ensuing firefight.

The Funeral of Andrea

The funeral of Andrea was short and brief. Tears were shed by many of these early gang members. However due to the gangs financial troubles, they were unable to afford a proper burial in the town's standard graveyard. To historian's dismay, the body was in fact placed in an unmarked grave. Archaeologists have tried to find the exact location of where Andrea's remains lie, however after numerous attempts to find the burial site, no body has yet to be found. Dr David Miles Chief Archaeologist of English Heritage, has stated that 'This could be one of Britain's greatest mysteries and is one that would bring great joy to be finally solved. However until this point we are only able to dream os such a day.'

The Hungry Winter

After the many successes of the Henley Riverside Street Crew, the harshest winter on record hit the Berkshire and South Oxfordshire region. Crops failed to grow and many of the greenhouses in Henley were destroyed by high winds and heavy snowfall. Hundreds of innocent men and women starved during the ensuing food shortages.

Mother cannot feed her children during the famine.

Keith Tate declared that the harsh winter had been caused by the infidels of Maidenhead Massif. Due to the people of Henley having undying belief in Keith Tate they believed him. The hatred and racism against the people of Maidenhead as a result grew. However amongst all this tension and distrust, several small villages in the surrounding areas of Henley-on-Thames offered food and supplies to the Henleyians. The people of Henley gladly accepted these offerings and these few weeks where support was given became known as the 'Candle in the Darkness' holiday, and has been celebrated annually since.

Although the acceptance of the supplies from the surrounding villages such as Twyford and Shiplake, allowed for the Henley Riverside Street Crew to survive, the act damaged relations between HRSC and Crowthorne Massif. This occurred because Crowthorne Massif had previously been attempting to annex Twyford and Shiplake into its empire. The tension between Crowthorne Massif and HRSC did not last long and the two gangs quickly returned back to previous diplomatic relations in the coming months.

Cleaning the Streets Act

After a long period of time, where unrest and famine had ravaged the Henley area, Kieth Tate was willing to take some action and retain some normality to the citizens of Henley. Keith had been brought up as a Russian Orthodox and despite him not being heavily religious, he retained some of the values which his mother and priest had taught him.

Tate became sick and tired of seeing cannabis being openly dealt upon the streets of Henley and prostitutes selling their bodies in clean sight of children. The police of the town were not willing to help as they were heavily corrupt and were only looking after the interests of the highest bidder (in this case it was the drug cartels).

Notable Prostitutes and Cannabis dealers include Fran Way and Alexandra Wilcox.
