More about this scene

Upstream of Reading is Mapledurham Lock, where a steamer is leaving the chamber. Today's Health and Safety authorities would be in an apoplexy to see the 'River Queen' pack so many passengers aboard. Mapledurham House - behind the trees - has been used as a film set in Inspector Morse mysteries, and also in the film 'The Eagle Has Landed'.
