Marlow
Marlow, (traditionally referred to as Great Marlow or Chipping Marlow) is a town and civil parish within the Wycombe district in south Buckinghamshire, England. It lies on the River Thames, 4 miles (6.5 km) south-southwest of High Wycombe, 5 miles (8 kilometres) west-northwest of Maidenhead and 33 miles (53 kilometres) west of central London. Marlow is recorded in the Domesday Book as Merlaue. There has actually been a bridge over the Thames at Marlow since the reign of King Edward III. The current bridge is a suspension bridge, developed by William Tierney Clark in 1832, and was a prototype for the much longer Széchenyi Chain Bridge spanning the River Danube in Budapest. Marlow is served by a railway station which is the terminus of a single-track branch line from Maidenhead. The train service is referred to as the Marlow Donkey, which was the tag given to the steam locomotives that previously ran on the line. There is also a pub with the same name, set alongside the railway station. Marlow Rowing Club, established in 1871, is among Britain's premier rowing clubs and has actually produced numerous Olympic oarsmen featuring Sir Steve Redgrave. The club is based by Marlow Bridge and exercises above and below the lock. The town has a football club called Marlow F.C. There are two regattas associated with Marlow; the Marlow Town Regatta and Marlow International Regatta. Earliest records tell us a regatta took place every year on the River Thames in Marlow from 1855. The latter moved to the purpose-built Dorney Lake, owned by Eton College, in 2003. Marlow still hosts its Original River Regatta which happens every year in June.
