Probably the first aerial view of this part of Windsor showing the bandstand in the Alexandra Gardens, the two ferrymen just upstream of the little island by the hire boats (the steamers would be Windsor Belle and Empress of India as The Windsor Castle was yet to be built). The trees in Thames Avenue, which was only constructed twenty or so years earlier, are clearly visible. Middle right of the picture is the 'town gas' works with its three chimneys which at that time would have been in full production. The allotment areas in the lower part of the picture are of social interest too but had to give way to an industrial estate later in the 20th century. |
