More about this scene
We are upstream of the bridges. Nag's Head Island is in the centre with its hotel fronting the bridge, and Stevens's Boatyard are the white buildings to the left. On the right the tall chimney belongs to the old hemp and twine works. It had been bought by G W Shepherd of Ladygrove House in 1879, and by 1890 was also producing coconut and rush matting. New buildings with Dutch gables were added, and it became Abingdon Carpet Factory soon after 1900. Now demolished, its site is occupied by the modern Upper Reaches Hotel.
