Title: "Berkshire's Watery Heritage: A Vintage Map and the Historic Boulters Lock on the River Thames" This print showcases a vintage map of Berkshire, a historic county in England, with an inset photograph of Boulters Lock, a noteworthy landmark located on the eastern side of Maidenhead. Dating back to approximately 1905, this image offers a glimpse into the rich history of the region, focusing on its transport and navigation systems. The primary map illustrates Berkshire's geography, extending from the bustling town of Reading in the west to the majestic Windsor Castle in the east. The intricate details of the map reveal the county's diverse landscape, including its picturesque villages, winding rivers, and expansive forests. The map also highlights the various transportation routes, such as the Great Western Railway and the Thames River, which played a significant role in connecting Berkshire to the rest of England. The inset photograph captures the essence of Boulters Lock, a lock and weir on the River Thames.

This print is an excellent reminder of Berkshire's rich history and the significance of its waterways in shaping the county's transportation and navigation systems.
