August 1928: A Serene Summer Scene of Windsor and the River Thames in Berkshire This photograph, taken in August 1928, offers a glimpse into a bygone era of leisurely summer days spent along the River Thames in Windsor, Berkshire. The picturesque scene is dominated by the grandeur of Windsor Castle, which stands proudly in the background, its ancient walls and towers reflecting in the shimmering waters. The river is bustling with activity, as a boat filled with holidaymakers and day-trippers makes its way along the Thames. The passengers, dressed in their Sunday best, appear to be enjoying the sunshine and the gentle breeze, their laughter and chatter carrying across the water. On the banks of the river, families and groups of friends have set up picnics, spreading out blankets and baskets, and basking in the warm summer sun. Children play in the water's edge, their laughter adding to the joyous atmosphere. The scene is one of tranquility and relaxation, a perfect representation of the idyllic English summer. The photograph, taken by the Great Western Railway (GWR) for publicity purposes, captures the essence of a simpler time, when the pleasures of nature and the company of loved ones were the greatest joys.
