Old pollard willows on the river bank, downstream from Streatley There are some very ancient-looking  pollard willows along this stretch of the Thames.  These are on private land, so I took a zoom shot from close to the A329.

These trees also appear in Bill Nicholls' contribution <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1592751">SU5979 : Island in the river</a> near the right-hand margin.
