A view east down Euston Road.
Prior to the building of the Severn Bridge, which now sweeps above the peninsula of Beachley Point, this little powered ferry carried small vehicles across the Severn to the outskirts of Aust on
The bust on the plinth in the foreground is of Creighton Hutchinson, a local doctor and benefactor, who died in 1927.
This was followed by the Liverpool-to-Crewe line, and then south to London's Euston.
The lower promenade, with the North Euston Hotel, owned by the London & North Western Railway, in the background.
The baker's with its characteristic 'Hovis' sign is still a baker's, and Duston retains other shops, unlike many Northamptonshire villages.
Behind is Fleetwood's North Euston Hotel, which opened in 1841.
The bust - on a plinth to the left - is of Charles Sweet Willshire (1837-89), who was a liberal politician and municipal representative.
The station served the Midland Railway, and its Euston Road frontage is still dominated by the Midland Grand Hotel designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott.
Far left is the silhouette of the North Euston Hotel at Fleetwood.
A mile or two to the west of Northampton, the village of Duston is steeped in history.
Linked by rail to Euston, Fleetwood developed as a major port, handling passengers and cargo bound for Ireland, the Isle of Man and Glasgow.
In the background we can see the tall Pharos lighthouse and the North Euston Hotel, designed in 1840 by the famous architect Sir Decimus Burton.
These architects specialised in pub design, and quality shines through; similar quality can be seen at The Crown, an exuberant pub in Cricklewood Broadway, and The Rising Sun in Chalton Street, Euston.
This view shows Euston Park in its early days.
Fleetwood was founded in 1836 by Sir Peter Hesketh-Fleetwood, and laid out to the designs of Decimus Burton, who designed the North Euston Hotel, Queen's Terrace and both lighthouses.
