Ray Mill Island is an island in the River Thames in England at Boulter's Lock near Maidenhead, Berkshire. The island is now a park administered by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. It is named after the Ray family who once had a flour mill here. The mill was constructed in 1726 on the site of a previous mill, and continued to produce flour until the 1920s. Boulter's weir runs from the top end of the island across to the Taplow bank. A kayak flume has been built adjacent to the weir on the island. For over 20 years until it was stolen in October 2011, the island housed ''The Companion'', a memorial statue for four local schoolboys who died in a skiing accident.〔BBC 1 November 2011, (Maidenhead schoolboys memorial statue stolen )〕 A new version of the statue was unveiled in the original location in July 2012.〔17 July 2012, Royal Borough Observer, "(Companions Statue is restored )"〕 == Statues == * "Vintage Boys" by Lydia Karpinska. * "The Companions" by Eunice Goodman. * "Maiden with Swans" by Eunice Goodman 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ray Mill Island」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
