 Marlow
|
|
| Marlow, next
to the River Thames, with its Regency, 1829, suspension bridge
over the river.
Now a modern town,
very popular for commuters into London, but it still has Georgian
buildings in the High Street and West Street. Older buildings
in Marlow include The Old Parsonage and Deanery, 14th century,
and Marlow Place, 1721.
Marlow has connections
with writers, the Compleat
Angler Hotel is named after Izzak Walton's book, and poets,
Percy Bysshe Shelley and his wife lived here from March 1817
to February 1818, during which time Shelley wrote Revolt
to Islam, while Mary Shelley
finished Frankenstein.
With its shopping
area, walks along the towpath, and small streets, it is a
good place to wander around when you are visiting, and there
is a Tourist Information Centre in the town.
Take a boat trip on
the Thames - always worthwhile.
