Behind the crammed Edwardian beach, with boats launched into the millpond of a sea, most of the buildings of Grand Parade survive today, the notable exception being the small gabled house, now replaced
Jerome K Jerome describes a classic journey in his 'Thee Men in a Boat'.
These boats were used by the ancient Britons, and are still made in the traditional way: canvas is stretched on a framework of interwoven rods and rendered waterproof with pitch or tar.
The Jolly Gardeners pub (near right) was closed in 1955, and has been used since by the Heath family, the boat builders. Barclays Bank on the left was built in 1908.
The Homepride Flour Mills can be seen in this photograph, and the vessel on the left is a cargo boat, registered in Karachi, and probably delivering grain from Asia.
This shot looks northwards to Marine Parade (centre) and beached boats at Cobb Gate.
On the far side of the Severn, a boathouse and rowing boats indicate a swing to tourist trade.
The connection with the legend of Robin Hood is obscure, but one story is that Robin came here to hire boats in order to escape from England.
We can see the back of the boat station, with 'cushion huts' peeping out behind the strolling crowds, whilst to the right 'Schneider's gate' is flanked by the bold 'Belsfield Hotel' sign.
When the Oxford Canal finally reached Oxford in 1790, the city bells were rung to celebrate the arrival of the first barges loaded with coal from Coventry.
The warehouse beneath is owned by the London Midland & Scottish Railway Company; one of the boats is mooored close by.
Though it passes through an industrial landscape, this canal has many quiet rural stretches where the narrow boats chug along under a dense canopy of green.
The lock was the last before the narrow boats reached the canal basin at Walton Street, where a cargo crane is preserved.

In the 18th century this waterway was busy transporting coal, and possibly large cheeses too, for Tom Rowe the Lancashire cheese factor lived in Bilsborrow.
Here we see a section of the canal at Greenberfield Locks, just before it enters the town.This is the highest point that the canal reaches.The revival in pleasure boats on the canals has brought back
In the event, the main line from Taunton was built as a tub boat canal with a very short life, and an 11-mile stretch from Loudwells to Tiverton was built as a barge canal.
The Bude Canal was opened in 1826 with the aim of carrying lime-rich sea sand in tub boats to improve the acid farm soils of the hinterland.
The connection with the legend of Robin Hood is obscure, but one story is that Robin came here to hire boats in order to escape from England.
Billy Moore's Boat Statoin (known to the local children as 'Noah's Ark') has still to make its appearance.
Below the second Tyrley lock, a loaded narrow boat poses for the camera. The man would work the locks, the little girl would drive the horse, and the mother would steer: this was a family business.
It was standard practice on these boats to run the sheets and halyards through the steam capstan, enabling the capstan operator (usually the skipper) to handle the sails by himself.
The channel leading up to where the boat sits at its mooring is no longer in evidence.
