Brixham
Coming to Brixham from just outside of London as an 11 year-old was a real culture shock. New smells (fish!) new sounds (seagulls) and new faces (the inhabitants of the south west certainly have distinct facial features...to say nothing of ...Read more

St Marys Church
We lived in an upstairs flat in South Ealing. The tube railway line ran behind our flat, and beyond that, allotments. We also had a good view of St. Mary's church. It was wonderful to hear the bells ring on Sunday mornings. I ...Read more

Fair Green
I lived in that stange area of Mitcham known as Lonesome, situated between the level crossing at Eastfields and the bottom of Streatham Vale. It was a sort of 'No Man's Land'. My schooling from 1951- 1957 took place first at the wooden ...Read more

My First Visit
It was a warm bright sunny day in May when my husband and I came to look at a house in Thorngrafton. What a lovely quiet atmosphere it had, apart from the mooing of the cows on the farm and the sound of the house martins singing ...Read more

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
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.
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.
We are looking south from outside the Methodist Church on a stretch of the High Street which is now pedestrianised.
In this 1929 photograph the north side of Hermitage Road is now built up, while the south side remains partly undeveloped.
The old village, which consisted of about eighteen houses, lay to the south-west of Belsay Castle - or rather it did until the early 19th century, when Sir Charles Monck had it demolished and moved to
St Stephen's Green on the south of the city was one of the three ancient commons enclosed in 1663. It covers 22 acres and was laid out as a park in 1880 with a lake and other water features.
Eight years later, the South Pavilion at the end of the pier was destroyed by fire.
Closing the view south is the former General Accident Building of 1932, which Pevsner rather unkindly sums up as 'a vile, impertinent lump'.
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
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.
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
In the middle distance the London Brighton and South Coast Railway lines cut across Brighton Road on a level crossing.
In this unusual view looking south-west, taken apparently from an upper window of the Crown Hotel, we see the ever present line of parked cars, the newest of which, 6503MC, was registered
This picture of the square at the south end of Dublin Street, is interesting in that it shows the original market cross, which was repositioned here when the Rossmore Memorial was erected in the Diamond
Barry was to become one of the busiest of resorts on the south coast of post-war Wales.
This shows the south entrance to the church, which Pevsner describes thus: 'Perpendicular also s porch (with a niche) and the embattled s chapel with straight-headed windows'.
The trees which conceal the south-west towers have now been removed. The steps too were taken out in the 1980s. Here they lead up the motte to the Castle House, which now houses the town's museum.
This view of the garden is taken from the South Cloister.
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.
Wonderful as this view is, admiration is tempered by the knowledge that the road leading to the south transept was created by the demolition in the 1830s of the mainly 12th-century monastic dormitory and
This photograph looks south from the Market Place.
