EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty of The River Thames near Caversham Lock in Reading, Berkshire, England, circa 1910. The serene waterway is dotted with quaint houses and picturesque boats, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. At the heart of this idyllic scene is the historic White Hart Hotel, nestled on the riverbank. Its distinctive red-brick facade and ivy-covered walls have stood the test of time, offering refuge and hospitality to travelers for centuries. The White Hart, a popular coaching inn since the 16th century, has been a beloved landmark for locals and visitors alike. Beside the White Hart, Sonning Bridge can be seen, connecting the charming village of Sonning to the north bank of the Thames. The bridge, with its elegant arches and wrought-iron railings, adds to the picturesque charm of the scene. The tranquility of the river is contrasted by the hustle and bustle of activity along the banks. People can be seen going about their daily routines, while others take leisurely strolls along the water's edge. The gentle flow of the Thames, punctuated by the occasional passing boat, completes the scene, creating a sense of peace and harmony. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, offers a rare glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the stories and memories that unfolded along the banks of the River Thames in Reading during the early 20th century.
