Abingdon, England - 2 February 2018 Saint Helen's Wharf is a noted beauty spot on the River Thames, just upstream of the medieval bridge at Abingdon-on-Thames. The wharf was for centuries an important transport and shipping link up the Thames and between canals from Oxford and the Midlands. Fine merchant houses rub shoulders with alms houses and the Saxon-era Saint Helens Church. Here we see the entrance to the church grounds and medieval alms houses. On the bottom left of frame, we see a sign showing the high water mark of the flooded Thames River in 1894.
