More about this scene
This view looks downstream from the footbridge onto Ray Mill Island. A smart houseboat is towed out by a steam launch; relatively few boats are out. Later views illustrate the great boating craze of the 1880s which ran right up until World War I. On Ascot Sunday, 1888, over 800 boats and 72 steam launches passed through the lock in one day, and traffic only increased over the years.
