In the distance is the little 16th-century two-arched bridge.
This view looks north-westwards from the south bank to the 1927-built South Bridge (left) which replaced a graceful five- arch Norman bridge.
The building was once in the centre of a much larger town, but coastal erosion saw much of Aldeburgh lost to the sea.
Dating from the 17th century, the Shambles comprised several shops in an arched arcade, with living accommodation over the top.
This magnificent building stands right beside the road but is hidden by what is now a much taller, and thicker, hedge.
From the arches of the Georgian Guildhall the camera looks down White Hart Street.
In the 1920s Torquay became not only a venue for family holidays but a much-loved destination for day trips, with tourists arriving by train and charabanc.
The present bridge was built in 1823 on possibly medieval stone piers, replacing a much older bridge.
Recent roadworks revealed within the existing structure a much earlier bridge, possibly medieval, around which the present bridge was built.
The six-arched bridge, designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, was built in 1864 using bricks made locally.

The complete absence of cars reminds us of a much quieter time in the history of the town.
To this day it continues to provide a much welcomed place of rest and refreshment following an expedition to the top of Roseberry Topping and back.
Number 18, on the left, was refronted in the 1770s in brick with Venetian windows (with their centre part arched), and a later Greek Doric- style porch added.

Rising above the stone arches of the bridge are the tall chimney and factory units belonging to the Anglo Swiss Condensed Milk factory, which opened in 1873.
The choir aisle vaults date from about 1100; they support the floor of the galleries above with their great arches.

This former fishing village, situated on the south coast of the Lleyn Peninsula, now hosts boats of a much more upmarket kind.
From the area of Miller Ground, sunsets have always been a much-admired Windermere feature, with shafts of silver/ copper light escaping from heavy clouds and crossing the water from Claiffe Heights

This view was taken from the downstream side of the bridge where the arches are pointed, whereas on the upstream side, they are rounded.
The imposing arch is in the monumental Egyptian style.
Today, it has become St Michael's Independent and Day Boarding School, a much-respected educational establishment.
