John Lewington’s Barge Match picture in The Times

I’m beginning to think that someone on The Times’s editorial or photographic staff is a Thames barge fan.

Again today there is a superb barge picture, this time by John Lewington of barges in “a Thames barge race in Southend”.   Difficult to work out from the description whether it is a Thames Match at Southend, or a Southend Match.

The photograph has been entered  for the Shipwrecked Mariners’ Society’s photography competition, now in its 179th year.
