Places to see in ( Henley on Thames - UK )
Henley-on-Thames is a historic market town and civil parish on the River Thames in Oxfordshire, England, 9 miles northeast of Reading, 7 miles west of Maidenhead and 23 miles southeast of Oxford. One of Henley on Thames boundaries has the tripoint of Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire.
Henley Bridge is a five arched bridge across the river built in 1786. It is a Grade I listed building. During 2011 the bridge underwent a £200,000 repair programme after being hit by the boat Crazy Love in August 2010. About a mile upstream of the bridge is Marsh Lock. Chantry House is the second Grade I listed building in the town. It is unusual in having more storeys on one side than on the other.
The Church of England parish church of St Mary the Virgin is nearby, and has a 16th-century tower. The Old Bell is a pub in the centre of Henley. The building has been dated from 1325: the oldest-dated building in the town of Henley on Thames. To celebrate Queen Victoria's Jubilee, 60 oak trees were planted in the shape of a Victoria Cross near Fair Mile.
Henley on Thames railway station is on the Henley Branch Line from Twyford. There are direct trains into London Paddington during peak hours. At other times one must change trains at Twyford. There are express mainline rail services from Reading (6 miles or 10 km away) to Paddington.
Henley is a world-renowned centre for rowing. Each summer the Henley Royal Regatta is held on Henley Reach, a naturally straight stretch of the river just north of the town. It was extended artificially. The event became Royal in 1851, when Prince Albert became patron of the regatta. Other regattas and rowing races are held on the same reach, including Henley Women's Regatta, the Henley Boat Races for women's and lightweight teams between Oxford and Cambridge University, Henley Town and Visitors Regatta, Henley Veteran Regatta, Upper Thames Small Boats Head, Henley Fours and Eights Head, and Henley Sculls. These Heads often attract strong crews that have won medals at National Championships.

Thetford Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the East Anglian county of Norfolk, and roughly equidistant between Cambridge and Norwich, is the town of Thetford.
In Saxon times Thetford was the capital of East Anglia. It had its own mint in the 10th century, and by 1086 the Domesday Survey recorded it as being the sixth largest town in the country with 4,000 to 4,500 people living here.
By the 12th century Thetford had become an important religious centre, with 22 churches around the town, as well as Thetford Priory, founded in 1103. The priory was left to ruin in the 16th century along with the town's religious houses when Henry VIII ordered the Dissolution of the Monasteries. This brought about a decline in the area. However, in the 1570s Thetford received a boost when Elizabeth I granted a town charter leading to redevelopment in the main streets.
In 1819 plans were made to turn Thetford into a spa town for tourists, similar to Bath Cheltenham, Leamington and Harrogate. The meadows between the rivers Thet and Little Ouse contained a spring of mineral rich water. A pump room was constructed, but later closed in 1838.
In 1848 Thetford became a producer of steam engines courtesy of Charles Burrell & Sons Ltd who were based in the town. At its height the factory employed over 350 people, with workers moving in from London, the Midlands and Yorkshire until its closure in 1928.
After the Second World War Thetford became an overspill town, providing housing for those from the cities whose homes had been destroyed in the Blitz, leading to a surge in population during the second half of the 20th century.
During the walk we see two statues. The first appears at the very beginning and is of Duleep Singh, the last Maharaja of the Sikh Empire. He was exiled to Great Britain aged 15 following on from the Anglo Sikh Wars. There he befriended Queen Victoria and bought a country estate close to Thetford in 1863.
The second statue is of Thomas Paine. Born in Thetford, Paine was a political writer who travelled to Philadelpia in 1774 with a letter of introduction from Benjamin Franklin. In 1776 he wrote a pamphlet arguing the case for American independence, predating the Declaration of Independence itself. Later on, Paine travelled to France where he advocated for the French Revolution. He is also believed to have met Napoleon Bonaparte in the late 1790s to discuss a potential invasion of England. So basically turning up everywhere of historical significance, like an 18th century Forrest Gump. Napoleon allegedly stated that a statue of gold should be erected to [Thomas Paine] in every city in the universe. The statue we see is made of bronze and dates back to 1964 where it was initially gilded. Having lost its golden appearance, it was then re-gilded in November of 2020, making it quite hard to miss!
