 A rather nice house from 1893 - and next to the pub, opposite the church   Some older houses - perhaps using old ship's timbers     The pub, the Oak & Saw. The local Lord used to buy up old wooden ships and tow the up the Thames to break up  The home of artist Sheila Horton and her husband (also an artist) Brian Horton.  A detail of the gates painted by Shiela Horton  The blue plaque is for Walter de la Mare who lived in Hill House from 1925-39  The footpath down to the Jubilee River |

 The Jubilee River  A paper mill on Mill Road    A fairly well-hidden gas storage facility  The white building past the terrace of houses was the once notorious Skindles Hotel   The Thames Path goes under an arch of Maidenhead Road Bridge, which takes the Bath Road (A4) over the Thames  Pevsner describes it as "a beautiful piece of 1772–7" and it is Grade I listed. Now the M4 takes most of the traffic  Red Roofs at Oldfields is apparently now a rather quirky and expensive B&B |
