Punch and Judy hold the attention of the formally-dressed crowd of holidaymakers in the South Bay.
The village stands under the downs near the source of the Len and has a broad, attractive market square fringed with lime trees, which create a shadowed path over the uneven setts and cobbles.
Originally a simple Norman construction, it was enlarged many times and given a neo-Gothic interior after the War, with broad aisles. Fortunately, the town still has one fine historic church - St?
This broad open space is a kaleidoscope of noise and colour on market day.
We enter at a place by London Road, say on a summer's morning ...
The stone jetty that we can see in the background was the main terminal for ships to Ireland and the Isle of Man, until Heysham Harbour was cut in the 1900s.
This photograph shows Churchgate and Belgrave Gate viewed from Gallowtree Gate - 'gate' is derived from the Scandinavian, meaning 'a road to'.
As a result it gained royal cachet, and the Prince's emblem of feathers sprang from the parapet above the name of landlord Robert Lutke.
Both the hillside and village are named after the Devon-born churchman who brought Christianity to Germany. The original Saxon church may have been founded by the saint before he went abroad.
From Tirril, midway between Penrith and Ullswater, a road leads to Sockbridge. This was the home of Wordsworth's grandfather Richard, and his father John.
From the end of the pier Ramsgate looks very well indeed.
A lock linked the river and Nottingham Canal at the projection near the end of the walkway.
Few traffic controls are in evidence at the southern end of the shopping area in about 1960.
Wash Road was a road of many farms: Watch-House, Mundell's, Petchey's, Benson's, Puckle's, Sellers, and Laindonponds.
Over the last 200 years or so, erosion has only managed to claim two rows of houses and a road.
The former toll house was demolished as part of a road-widening scheme, and access to and from West Street was blocked to traffic in the interest of safety.
After the war, Brighton and other Sussex towns were still popular for holidays, but in the 1960s package tours took the tourists abroad.
Also lost during the town centre development was the Wesleyan Methodist Church, which had stood on the corner of the Parade and Newhall Street.
They remained at Endcliffe until removed to make way for a road improvement scheme and were re-erected at Hunter's Bar.
On the right can be seen the public house the Ham Tap, and also Mr Elson's greengrocer shop. Outside is his delivery bicycle.
The Horse and Groom together with the next two buildings made way for a road; the Queens Head inn now occupies a corner of the new road - Queen Street.
The buildings housing the premises of Hedges & Son (right), however, have been demolished and replaced by a road and open space leading to a pedestrian shopping precinct.
Initially the village developed along a road constructed on a causeway across the marshes between the castle and a possible wharf near Bramber Bridge.
We can almost feel the peace and tranquillity typified by a road deserted apart from a solitary horse-drawn delivery cart, standing near an attractive row of brick-built thatched cottages.
