Probably My Finest Hours But Never Knew It

I started at Oughtrington as a very shy and quiet 12 year old in 1955. My first impressions were that I had been dropped off the bus, from Altrincham into a holiday hotel, not school. Progressing through ...Read more

Summer Memories Of Picktree Village

In the late 1950’s and as a young boy around 8 or 9 living in the west end of Newcastle, I used to visit my Auntie Bella and Uncle Ted regularly. They lived at Number 3 Picktree Cottages, a short row of picturesque cottages ...Read more

Bluebells

My godmother and her parents lived 'forever' at Gravel Road, just up from the small shop on the Park Avenue end. With a marvellous garden of flowers, fruit and poultry; a walkway tunnel of Quince, a black & white tiled pathway to ...Read more

Southall Memories

My parents, who came to England from India in 1955, when I was 3 months old, moved to Southall in 1959, from Whitton, when I was 4. I remember Southall Broadway at that time-there was actually a saddlery business there! C. Quinion, ...Read more

Not far away are Chelwood Vachery, a re-created hall-house originally called Trimmer's Pond, and Kidbrooke Park, a much altered and decorated house with gardens laid out by Repton.

Caption For Fareham, Union Street 2005

The bricks that were used to build many of the houses in the High Street were the same kind, the magnificent Fareham Reds, that built the spectacular railway viaduct, whose seventeen arches loom

Horsedrawn carriages and motorised vehicles had to take a much longer route, about nine miles, via Blythburgh.

This is the three-arched red brick medieval bridge over the River Brett at Hadleigh.

Caption For Eastbourne, Belle Vue Hotel C1965

All the buildings in this view survive, including the smaller houses in Elms Avenue and the rather good 1850s stucco of the Belle Vue Hotel, with its arched ground floor windows and heavy moulded cornice

Caption For Huntingdon, The Old Bridge 1898

The medieval bridge over the River Ouse was started in 1332 to connect Huntingdon with Godmanchester, and the respective authorities paid for three arches - note the different styles - with the builders

Caption For Warminster, Market Place C1965

On the right is a heavily-rusticated arch leading through to the rear of the hotel, a reminder of the town's coaching days.

Caption For Uppingham, School Quadrangle 1927

The air of a monastic undercroft, with its heavy circular columns and chamfered pointed arches, pervades the photograph.

Caption For Staines, Boating 1907

Guiding a punt - and its 'fair inhabitants' - towards the graceful arches of Staines Bridge.

Caption For Broadstairs, York Gate 1887

Leading from the old village to the harbour beyond, this 16th-century arch, originally fitted with a portcullis and gates, was built to protect the settlement against pirates and smugglers.

Caption For South Shields, Marsden Bay C1955

Nearby is Marsden Rock, an arched sandstone rock inhabited by thousands of seabirds.

Caption For Boston Spa, Thorp Arch Hall 1908

Thorp Arch Hall is now divided into three separate houses, and has been tastefully restored in recent years.

A group, thought to be part of a 'walking party', pose rather self-consciously on the two-arched bridge over the River Mole.

Caption For Hengoed, The Viaduct 1952

The line is long-since closed, but this towering sixteen-arch structure stands as a lasting reminder of Victorian skill and energy.

Caption For Norwich, St John The Baptist Church 1896

A temporary wall separates it from the crossing tower and the dust from the building works beyond the west tower arch.

Caption For Bangor, St Deniol's Cathedral 1906

The site was much fought over by the Vikings, the Normans and the Welsh, so that the cathedral has been rebuilt on several occasions.

Caption For Abingdon, Market Place From Town Hall Roof 1900

Built in 1864, it replaced a much older hotel, itself a replacement for an inn, the Antelope, which existed here in 1538.

Caption For Wetherby, The Bridge 1909

The bridge carried the great North Road until Ernest Marples opened a much- needed bypass in 1962.

Caption For Romaldkirk, The Church 1898

The area around the chancel arch includes some stonework from the village's Saxon church.

Caption For Church Stretton, Tudor Cottage, High Street C1965

The timber work on the gable end of the building fronting the road remains the same, but the front wall is now all stone, giving the entire structure a much more medieval apperance.

Caption For Thorp Arch, Church 1893

Much of the woodwork was commissioned in 1938 from Robert Thompson from Kilburn, and his mouse trademark can be found on the pews and pulpit.

Caption For Bewdley, Bridge 1904

Thomas Telford's three-arched stone bridge dates from 1798 and cost £9000.
