In the photo shown below the steamer Robin Hood is picking up a passenger on the
Lincolnshire shore of Rive Trent. I do not know the exact location, but the pointer
indicates a stretch of the river on the Nottinghamshire/Lincolnshire boundary.

Among many other activities the Trent Navigation Company (1783-1940) operated the paddle steamer Robin Hood. The photograph[1] shows the steamer taking on a lady passenger in Lincolnshire. The coordinates in the info box and on the map are those for the source of the river.
