The bustling leisure waterfront of the River Thames at Windsor, Berkshire, is captured in this authentic 1970s colour photograph from 1978. The archival image centers on a small, blue-painted wooden “Booking Office” for self-drive motor boats, surrounded by dozens of clinker-built wooden rowing boats and motor launches. A man in a blue jumper is seen tending to a boat in the foreground. Across the river on the Brocas, a seasonal funfair is in full swing, featuring a red and white Ferris wheel, various caravans, and transport lorries. In the background, the iron spans of the Windsor Railway Bridge cross the river under a soft, overcast sky. This factual record preserves the classic summer atmosphere of Windsor’s riverside during the late 1970s, documenting the popular tourist activities and local recreation typical of the era.
