Thumbnail for The River Thames, looking upstream to Caversham Bridge from the Reading bank, c. 1892. On the left, a group of men, several of them wearing boaters, by the rowing-boats lined up ready for hire. There are several very tall telegraph posts along the bank, with Bona's boat-house in the distance. The waterman's house is visible on Piper's Island, with the Thames Valley Hotel to the right of it, and the tip of Fry's Island (or De Montfort Island) on the far right. 1890-1899 : photograph by H. W. Taunt, numbered 8612
