The River Thames at Whitchurch, near Pangbourne, c1890

A view taken across the Mill Pond from the toll bridge in Whitchurch on Thames. Red brick cottages sit on the water's edge, next to the old mill, just out of shot to the left. The tower of St Mary's church can be seen in the centre of the image. This photo was produced by Photochrom and was used as a carriage print by the Great Western Railway in the late 1800s
