The Raf Estate

The sea wall had not been built either, and the promenade is bordered by cobbles sloping to the beach, with wooden piles providing some protection against the breaking waves.
The clay, dug out close by, and generally leaving a pond in its wake, will be mixed with straw and then either moulded into blocks or poured straight into shuttering to make the walls.
This is still a distinct village, with lanes winding uphill, although the wall on the right has now been replaced by a 1970s close, Titan Barrow, the name perpetuating a house of 1748 by Wood the Elder
It is quite small, but it is elaborately decorated on its front outer wall.
It is built in the form of a clover leaf, and below the walls is a Tudor block house.
The photographer is looking west along the High Street, past the Victorian primary school with its cluster of steep slated pyramidal roofs and the hall 'erected by General Bouverie for the use of the parish
Walls six feet thick protected the castle kitchens, built after 1413 to replace less grand facilities.
The curtain wall, shown in this photograph, is all that remains of Strickland's castle, which is now a public park.
The thatch is well-maintained and looks as though it might have been recently replaced, but the walls are scarred and eroded from poor weather and exposure to the sea winds.
The cottage on the left has been replaced with gardens; the wall on the right was once used as a place where slaughtered pigs were scalded and skinned.
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.
They were rebuilt slowly from 1297 to 1430; their size was set by the larger-than-life Herbert de Losinga's Norman cloisters, whose outer walls survived the 1272 fire.
Note the drystone walls leading down to the river crossing.
The castle comprised a gatehouse, round keep, curtain wall, two round turrets and five small turrets.
Wharf Road is now a busy thoroughfare, the harbour wall a sturdy granite breakwater crowned with iron railings and tall street lamps.
We are looking north- eastwards from the Lower Walk, across mooring lines in the sand, at low water; sailing vessels are moored beside the Cobb Warehouses (right).
The flint wall on the left, now dismantled, is probably marking the entrance to Keepers.
As to the rest of the photograph, the cottages are now one dwelling but even the boundary walls have changed little in over a century.
Even though there are no leaves on the trees, Lord Street is still busy; as at Blackpool, trippers visit all year round.
This charming vignette seen through the old abbey ruins also manages to give us an insight into the sadly neglected state of this historic building with its grass-grown walls before it was taken over
It is the south gate in the medieval town walls; it is now almost lost amongst the later buildings that have since been attached to it.
So frantic has the traffic become, that the second thatched cottage was hit by a lorry twice in one year, losing the corner wall and its thatch.
A fascinating epitaph within reminds us that 'Man is a glass: Life is as water that's weakly walled about: Sinne brings Death: Death breaks the glass: So runs the water out.
The sign on the shop wall, where the tickets were sold, shows that admission to the Priory Church was 6d.
