More about this scene
The advent of the railways in the mid 19th century was to enhance the use of the Thames for pleasure as day-trippers took to the water in punts and sailing boats. Some men would take to the water first thing in the morning, rowing for a while before leaving for work in the City of London. From the mid 20th century the Thames was used less for industry, with fewer barges and tugs and fewer wharves for industry on its banks, giving ample room for sailing and pleasure boats.
