The black and white photo above was sent to me by a Tonbridge resident. The picture taken in 1937 shows her father and uncle in a canoe hired from the boathouse. What puzzles us is where this stretch on the town's river could be. The iron railings along the river bank could be a clue, although as the photograph was taken pre-war they were probably removed for munition. Can anyone help with identifying the spot?
It could be the same part of the river as in pics 20/21 of the river Medway photographs on Tonbridge History society's web site. The river seems to be quite wide in your photo.
ReplyDeleteCould the right of the photo be where the swimming pool is now? I don't know if there is still a bridge there now, but there was when I was young.
