EDITORS COMMENTS
Basking in the serene beauty of Ankerwyke, Wraysbury, along the banks of the River Thames in picturesque Berkshire, England, this photograph transports us back in time to the early 1910s. The tranquil scene is graced by the graceful curve of the Bell Weir Lock, a testament to the rich history of navigation on this iconic waterway. Close by, the ancient and enigmatic Ankerwycke Yew tree casts its shady branches over the riverbanks. This venerable yew tree, steeped in legend and history, is believed to be over a thousand years old and has been a witness to many a significant moment in the past. One such tale is the romantic rendezvous between King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, who is said to have met secretly beneath its protective foliage. The quaint cottages and idyllic setting in the background further emphasize the timeless allure of this idyllic riverside location. The gentle flow of the Thames, the serene reflections on the water, and the sun-kissed landscape all combine to create a scene that is as captivating as it is enduring. This photograph is a testament to the enduring charm of the River Thames and its rich history, offering a glimpse into the past while reminding us of the timeless beauty that continues to captivate us today.
