Thumbnail for One end of Blake's Bridge, Reading, c1980. Seen from the narrowboat Lancing, passing underneath on the River Kennet. This was a lattice-girder bridge, opened in October 1892, but since redeveloped. The boss in the pillar would appear to show the Queen and four maidens from the town's coat of arms, with Radingi Seccomuni around it, but some letters have been worn away, making it hard to read. 1980-1989 [picture] : Digital photograph
