Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: River Thames: Pharaoh's Island This is the western or upstream tip of the island, that is only reachable by boat. Visitors have to ring the bell on the mainland to summon attention. The island has 23 houses all with names with Egyptian connections. The Egyptian connection comes from the fact that the island was reputedly gifted to Lord Nelson by a grateful nation on his victory in the Battle of the Nile in 1798. The island is not natural having been severed from the mainland only when the northern channel, on the left, was cut in 1774. Alas on the day that the photograph was taken the rural peace and charm was being shattered by a loudly squabbling flock of feral ring-necked parakeets. |
