More about this scene
For centuries the Thames has played a part in Benson's history. Until the mid 1930s, coal was transported from the Midlands via the Oxford Canal to Oxford, and thence along the Thames to Benson, where it was offloaded at the local wharf. Today you are more likely to see pleasure craft navigating the lock.
