Marlow
Marlow, (historically 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 kilometres) south-southwest of High Wycombe, 5 miles (8 km) west-northwest of Maidenhead and 33 miles (53 km) west of central London. Marlow is noted 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 present bridge is a suspension bridge, designed by William Tierney Clark in 1832, and was a prototype for the much larger Széchenyi Chain Bridge spanning the River Danube in Budapest. Marlow is served by a train 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 moniker given to the steam engines that previously worked on the line. There is also a bar with the same name, situated near to the railway station. Marlow Rowing Club, established in 1871, is one of Britain's premier rowing clubs and has actually produced a number of Olympic oarsmen including 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 2 regattas associated with Marlow; the Marlow Town Regatta and Marlow International Regatta. Earliest records attest a regatta occurred each year on the River Thames in Marlow from 1855. The latter transferred to the purpose-built Dorney Lake, owned by Eton College, in 2003. Marlow still hosts its Original River Regatta which occurs annually in June.
