A named place photographed at this map point in Vale of White Horse.
Nags Head Island, located in the Vale of White Horse, was historically a small island on the River Thames, notable for its association with Abingdon and as a site for boat building and river trade. It was home to a small community of boatmen and their families, and its prominence declined with changes in river navigation and industrial development in the 19th century.
