Henley

Henley-on-Thames is a market town on the river between Oxfordshire and Berkshire. Its bridge has carried traffic across the Thames since at least the thirteenth century; the old wooden structure was replaced by a five-arched stone bridge in the 1780s. Henley's watermen and bargemen carried malt, timber and other goods downriver to London, returning with supplies for the town and its neighbours. Barley sold in the market fed the prosperous local malting trade.
