The college barges

This is one of the last college barges still in existence.  Many date from the 19th century. Members of colleges would use the barges as changing rooms and common rooms and watch the Torpids and Summer Eights rowing races on the Isis (the local name for the Thames) from these barges. One of them was sold in 2014 -  asking price £150,000.   This one is hidden near Donnington Bridge.
