Jolly Boating – on the Thames
A number of similar images from 1912-1914 involving Stanley Appleyard and companions enjoying an idyllic time by the river. Originally thought to be located near Sheffield based on family connections with Sheffield. But the industrial nature of the Sheffield and Tinsley canal at the time would seem to rule that out. Similar idyllic boating images can be found of the Thames an this now sees to be the definite location. The exact location of the lock still to be determined.
