The Thames, or Isis, plays an important role in Oxford University life.
We meet Bazalgette later at the Embankment in central London; seen here from the Barnes bank towpath, his suspension bridge has a 420-foot main span, and the towers are finished with French-style pavilion
On the right is the imposing facade of the old National Provincial Bank.
On the left is a terrace of brick houses and shops built c1865. Barclay's Bank closed in 2000, but the Co-op still trades from the ground floor, although it now has a mid-1990s shop front.
This was the water tower for St Mary's Abbey. At one time the abbey boundary wall stood along the river bank.
The lake, originally the reservoir for the cotton mill at the far end, was used for boating and swimming, whilst sunbathers and picnickers enjoyed its wooded banks.
Rolle Quay was the industrial area of Barnstaple, located on the seaward side of the river Yeo. Even in 1936, some trade is still in evidence.
The River Otter meets the sea just to the east of Budleigh Salterton after a 30-mile journey across Somerset and East Devon.
The Midland Bank occupies a small but distinctive stone building next door to Mill Bay laundry, and Myners the butcher's uses the ground floor of Tremayne House (left).
The Thames flows past Reading. The town centre is closer to the River Kennet, on its way to merge with the main river.
This is the Fowey beloved of weekend salts and retired admirals who sip gins on the verandahs of waterside houses in this timeless old town.
If you should ask how the fishermen reached their cobles moored in the river, notice the steps (not to mention the mooring ropes).
The High Street, with many cars, and a tarmacadam road, is much changed from earlier pictures. Simonds Bank is now Barclays, and Armstrongs has become Eighteens.
From the south bank, near Westminster Bridge, completed in 1862, this view shows the bell tower known universally by its great bell, Big Ben.
A mill close to the village was mentioned in the Domesday Book and the ruins, seen on the Trent's bank, were probably part of it.
Lympstone suffered economic depression at the end of the Napoleonic Wars when its shipbuilding yards closed. A number of residents moved to Devonport to continue their trade.
Just out of the picture, high on the right bank, is the path from Love Lane and Wolversdene Road to the bridge. The trap and donkey cart going into town have stopped to pose for the picture.
The Lloyds Bank on the left is still in place today but the Boots beyond it has been relocated to the new shopping development on the riverside.
Hilton's shop is still a boot and shoe shop, but Mr O'Connor is the owner.
Clement's Quarry is in the foreground. Note the area of tidal reach between the railtracks. The Mumbles-Swansea train in the centre of the photograph is heading for or leaving the Elms Terminus.
Taken from the canal bridge, this photograph shows Bridgewater Street, looking towards Eagle Brow.
This view looks from the north bank of the Avon, near the toll bridge. The mill buildings are still in use (compare this view with the last one).
North Street leads out of the town in the direction of Cowdray Park, with which the town is most closely associated.
Many of the town's elegant buildings were built during the 18th century, when the town prospered from the East Indies trade.
