Boulters Lock, Berkshire, 1906: A Scene of Edwardian Leisure and Camaraderie on the Thames This evocative photograph, captured by an unknown photographer for the Illustrated London News in June 1906, offers a captivating glimpse into the past. The image portrays an idyllic riverside scene at Boulters Lock in Berkshire, where a multitude of boats, both large and small, queue patiently, awaiting their turn to pass through the lock. The day is Ascot Sunday, a time when the Thames comes alive with the spirit of leisure and socializing. The photograph is a testament to the popularity of boating as a pastime during the Edwardian era. The boats, ranging from elegant houseboats to small rowing boats, are filled with families and friends, all dressed in their Sunday best, enjoying the sunshine and the camaraderie of the day. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of people on the riverside, who watch the boats with interest and anticipation. The serene and picturesque setting of Boulters Lock, with its lush greenery and the gentle flow of the Thames, adds to the charm of the scene. The photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to experience a moment of tranquility and joy from a bygone era. This photograph is a reminder of the simple pleasures and social connections that can be found in the most unexpected places, and it invites us to reflect on the enduring appeal of the river and the joy of boating.
