Not a cow in sight, where's the milk?

I would suspect the title should be LATE, so I gather the question of date might need resolution unless of course the source of these images is known. Whilst there were coffee houses in those times a drink with a lot of milk and a concentrated coffee added is unlikely to have existed then, at least in this country

Assuming they're in order, Boveney is well provided with paddles! Are the wheel operated paddles bigger than the track and pinion ones? I guess the gearing and the big wheel would mean they could be.

Yes, all in order.

Indeed - unfortunately edit is not available for title typos.

That isn't Bovney. The house is much further from away and its not on a wooded island. Looks like Whitchurch lock to me.
