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. Here we see it on a fine summer morning, with the trees and new leaves casting mottled chiaroscuro shadows on the walls of Church Alms Houses.
