The cliffs to the south of Perranporth are riddled with the adits of old mine workings, which followed the rich veins of tin and copper that ran from the granite intrusion of Cligga Head into the surrounding

Caption For Finningley, The Pond C1955

Once many villages were clustered around the village pond, and this shot of Finningley in South Yorkshire shows it was no exception.

The commanding tower of the village parish church overlooks the quiet South Yorkshire village of Sprotbrough, now divorced from the neighbouring town of Doncaster by the busy A1M motorway.

Caption For Neath, Victoria Gardens 1898

The town has, in fact, a long industrial background: it was once a centre for the production of copper - South Wales's first smelter was built here in 1584.

The garden shown in this photograph was situated in the south-eastern corner of the grounds of Castle Mound.

Eight years later, the South Pavilion at the end of the pier was destroyed by fire.

Caption For Leicester, Market Street 1949

Closing the view south is the former General Accident Building of 1932, which Pevsner rather unkindly sums up as 'a vile, impertinent lump'.

Caption For Weymouth, The Esplanade 1899

Weymouth, unlike many south coast resorts, faces east; it is therefore possible to sit on hot sunny days without the glare of the afternoon sun in the face.This accounted for the popularity of the

Caption For Borth, The Beach 1925

Children play at the south end of the beach. Beyond them is the headland on which the Borth war memorial was built after the First World War.

Caption For Hastings, Lifeboat House 1894

The elegant Victorian life boat house with its round tower and conical roof, quite new at this time, has now gone, and a modern concrete life boat station replaces it further south-east, painted an attractive

Once surrounded by forested land, this church boasts remarkable timbered west and south porches built in the early 14th century, and comprising some fifty tons of oak wood.

This photograph looks south from the Market Place.
