Local Panoramic Landscapes
This is the start of a project to take and compare panoramic landscape images taken from 16 different viewpoints around the villages of Goring & Streatley during 2013. The first images were taken during January and February with some follow ups in March and April. Most are four or five images stitched together in Photoshop Elements, but some are single or just two images.
It is proving to be more of a challenge than I thought due to poor winter weather and the fact that I need to walk a sixteen mile circuit to take a full sequence. Remembering the exact same spot has proved difficult in some cases. I must make better notes!

Old Prints of Goring & Streatley

This one is dated 1st June 1793. Artist J Farington RA.
Painted from Streatley Hill with Streatley Church & Mill on the left and Goring Mill & Church on the right. The bridge far right will be Ferry Lane (no sign of a ferry) Cleeve Mill is right in the centre. There are no weirs so the stream would have been strong. |

This print is of Goring Church from Streatley
The date on the back is c1795 and it's hand coloured. Note: There is no bridge and what looks to be a ferry in the foreground with a row of buoy's to show the way across |

This is the largest. It is titled Early Morning at Goring on Thames.
The original oil was painted by B W Leader around 1884. Recognisable as Goring Mill and Church. Again, no weirs - though there would have been one under the Mill. |

The inscription along the bottom says Artist Thomas Pyne - Etched by E. Slocombe. It is dated 1888
Painted looking towards Streatley Hill from the Streatley Bank. There is a bridge, the first one I guess as it was not shown in the one above which is dated four years earlier. The buildings on the right might be Streatley Mill, thought it should be the other side of the bridge / road so may precede the Swan Boathouse or the perspective is wrong. Behind the bridge is the recognisable Goring Mill, but why is there no church? |

Goring Church by B W Leader
Note that this is very similar to the third picot down, but has a barge in the foreground. |
