Houses off Mill Lane, Henley-on-Thames
© Edward Lever (view gallery)
Near the site of Marsh Mill, this fine white stucco building (Pool House) is a Grade II listed building. I believe at one time the entertainer Danny La Rue owned this house (along with many other fine houses) though I can find no definite confirmation of this information.

Friar Park was the home of the ex-Beatle George Harrison from 1970 until his death in 2001. Friar Park house itself is a 120-room Gothic mansion and is strictly private with the grounds protected by razor-wire, allegedly causing injuries to local cats, including that of thespian neighbour Rodney Bewes. Harrison's widow Olivia continues to live in the house.

The Horse Bridge, Marsh Lock, Henley-on-Thames
© Edward Lever (view gallery)

The Catherine Wheel on Hart Street is one of the many Pubs / Restaurants in Henley. Most of the buildings in Henley are Georgian or older. The view here must have changed little for several centuries and is spoiled only by the ever present line of parked cars on this pretty street.
