„Abingdon on Thames“

from the gallery of Ian Lewis
Description:

A view from just below the bridge of the River Thames as it flows past Abingdon on its way to Reading and London. Here the spire of St Helen's church dominates the scene - a well known landmark to users of the Thames. It inspired the artist JMW Turner who featured ii in a painting called 'Abningdon'. This ancient town is now in Oxfordshire although until relatively recently it was in Berkshire and was at one time the county town. Here is a popular mooring place for Thames boaters.
