Gorgeous film, I loved it! I did, when at school in Oxford, go with a friend on the 'Abingdon Rail River Trip'. It cost 5/10 pence, you went to Abingdon by train, walked a short distance to the river, and back on Salters. Possibly it wasn't too popular, as the ticket was marked 'Great Western Railway', and this was something like 1962. It caused a sensation when we got on the Abingdon train; the collector took our tickets, shouted 'Here Bill, look at this' and ran off!

A wonderful piece of sheer nostalgia. I wondered about the year because the cars look ancient. I agree it must have been late forties. Thanks for sharing

Abingdon,Sandford,Iffley and Oxford-lovely nostalgic images. Salter's are still in business at Folly Bridge and still running some of those old vessels along the river.

very nice video. Thanks for sharing

thanks. that was good.

Really enjoyed this. Apparently it was made in 1948.
