 Red Roofs at Oldfields on Guards Club Road  Thames Riviera Hotel next to Maidenhead Bridge  Boathouse at Oldfields  Maidenhead Bridge  Maidenhead Rowing Club   A front garden to the rive on River Road  Maidenhead Railway Bridge - an incredible brick structure with a sensational echo. It was hard to drag ourselves away  Isambard Kingdom Brunel - completed 1838, widened 1891-2 - The Sounding Arch. Also Grade 1 listed now.  The island in the Thames and the land to the south of it are a public park, with a fine footbridge (just visible) but we didn't have time to go across and explore it. |

 Houses her have private lawns by the Thames  And some have boats moored  This is Ship of Fools III   A footpath led to some fields   and more fields  and a farm with buildings that seemed to be disused  It was clouding over as we made our way back   Walking a little beside the Jubilee River (Datchet, Old Windsor & Staines etc Flooding Scheme). It was still a mile or so back to the pub and a rather tasty main course with a couple of pints of beer. |
