The Boathouse in Wallingford is a restaurant which has been converted from the original boathouse that you see here. As a youngster a lot of my friend has summer jobs here hiring out rowing boats and small motor launches. I felt it was a sad day when it closed but it is good to see it is still in use.

Close call that one!! Lovely shot. YAM xx
Yes it was though the sky & refection make the photo
I'm glad the restaurant was able to hold back the water. It's a great looking building.
That is a gorgeous place. Is the water level going down yet?
Really nice old building there. Glad it was spared by the floods.
I think they are as well, it's very popular
Yes it's gone down over a foot (30cm) but we have had more rain so it could rise again
So am I it would be sad to see it shut for a while over being flooded
WOW! Very nice!
I think it looks better in the floods
It is a wonderful postcard photo! It looks flooded....so I was glad to read that is wasn't. Hooray!
Thanks for that. I think every one breathed a sigh of relief when it stopped rising
I'm so glad that it escaped the floods.
I think any higher and it would not have
Looks like a wonderful place. ☺
Oddly I have never been in there so could not say, but it is very popular
Too bad you can't divert some of that excess water in the Thames to California! We are in our third year of drought!

«Louis» looks forward to your "inSPIREd Sunday" post!
The Boathouse is a beautiful building. Finding another purpose for it was a good thing. Beats tearing it down and sticking up something that may not have been so beautiful.
Believe me Louis if we could we would at the moment
I think the building s listed to they can't tear it down
