Henley On Thames, The Bridge 1899

More about this scene
All three views taken by the Frith photographer in 1899 are south of the Regatta course, which from 1886 had its finishing line near Phyllis Court. In the first view (right) we are looking towards the bridge from south Riverside and the second (bottom right) was taken from the bridge itself. The third (bottom left) was taken looking along Riverside north with the gardens of the Red Lion on the right; this was a most exclusive seating area, but it has since been lost to road improvements. In this view we see the black poplars on the Berkshire bank which replaced the late 18th-century ones planted by Field Marshal Conway.
