Going To The Shops...

As a fully paid up member of the 'Baby Boomer' generation, born in 1947, I've been reading all the stories posted on this lovely website (which - like many others, I suspect - I came across purely by chance). I was born in Perivale ...Read more

Borehamwood Shops

This picture is of the shops in Leeming Road and not the main shopping centre in Borehamwood, fondly known as the village. Leeming Road shops are in fact about a mile away from the main town. I would love to see any photos of the "village" if anyone has any.

Caption For Penarth, The Pier 1896

By the 1870s, Robert Forrest knew that he could not stop the 'rabble' and their use of the beach, which he deemed 'not legitimate'.

The gardens on the banks of the Leam were laid out from the 1830s onwards.

Caption For Penarth, Alexandra Park C1955

The 1950s proved somewhat of a flat period for the park. 1951 witnessed the scrapping of its bandstand – a £62 repair estimate was deemed too costly, while 1956 saw the removal of its weather station.

Caption For Mullion, Poldhu Hotel 1899

It is on an extremely windswept location with not a tree or bush in sight, but no doubt the sea views and bracing air were deemed beneficial to guests.

Nowadays, deemed the prettiest village in England, it relies on tourism for its income.

Caption For Harborne, Prince's Corner And High Street C1955

When the roundabout was built in the 1930s, it was deemed such a novelty that it starred on specially issued local postcards, the handsome buildings in the background playing only a minor role.

The Addleshaw Tower was completed in 1974, its construction deemed necessary owing to the unsafe condition of the bell-frame in the central tower.

Caption For Barnstaple, Rock Park 1935
