„ Goring on Thames Lock“

aus der Galerie von Ian Lewis
Über dieses Bild:

The lock at Goring on Thames seen from the bridge linking Goring in Oxfordshire with Berkshire at Streatley on Thames. This is one of the most picturesque places on the Thames, situated at the point where the river flows through a gap between the Chiltern Hills and the North Wessex Downs - known as the Goring Gap. There has been a lock here since the 1500s when a local miller wanted a good head of water to drive the wheel. This was reconstructed as a pound lock in 1787.
