Molesey Lock on the River Thames in Surrey, England, 1903: A Scene of Historic Boating Tradition This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at Molesey Lock on the River Thames in Surrey, England, in 1903. The image beautifully portrays the rich history and tradition of boating on this iconic waterway. The lock, a vital transportation hub, is shown in the process of helping smaller recreational boats navigate the river's level changes. To the left of the lock, you can see a group of boaters and their vessels being hauled over the rollers. This method allowed smaller boats to bypass the larger lock on the right, which was reserved for larger vessels. The tranquil setting is a stark contrast to the industrious activity taking place. The calm waters reflect the clear blue sky, and the lush greenery along the banks adds to the serene atmosphere. The boats, with their varied shapes and colors, add character to the scene, while the boaters in their period attire exude a sense of pride and camaraderie. Molesey Lock, a historical landmark, has played a significant role in the transportation of goods and people along the Thames for centuries. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the importance of this lock in the boating community and the enduring tradition of recreational boating on the River Thames. This image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the charm and allure of the Thames and its rich boating history. It invites us to imagine the stories and memories that have unfolded on its waters over the years and the joy and adventure that continues to be experienced by boaters today.
