Caption For Cheadle Hulme, Station Road C1955

The view is looking towards the former London & North Western Railway station on the line to Stockport and Manchester. Note also the roadside petrol pumps, now collectors' items in their own right.

Caption For Headingley, St Michael's Church And The Shire Oak 1897

It is said that the tree had been used in Roman times as a signal station. The parish church of St Michael and All Saints, in the background, was rebuilt in 1864.

Caption For Gloucester, Southgate Street 1949

Here we have a view looking into Longsmith Street, which leads down to Bearlands police station and the courts. In 1927 Longsmith Street was widened, and vitocrete was laid down as a surface.

Caption For Windermere, Rigg's Hotel 1929

It stands on the north side of what is now the main A591, opposite the railway station.

Caption For Accrington, Market And Bus Station 2004

The main part of the new outside market lies along Peel Street; its construction forced the alteration of the bus station into a line of stands on each side of the street.

Caption For Wolferton, On The Station 1921

This station would pass any CO's stringent inspection.

Caption For Farnborough, Queensmead Shopping Centre C1965

There are 600 parking spaces here, and the railway station is less than a mile away, making Farnborough useful to London commuters.

This view of Pateley Bridge, 'capital' of Nidderdale, was taken from Station Square and the bridge over the River Nidd.

Green-painted iron gates inscribed 'In memory of the fallen' open into the Garden of Remembrance from Plymouth Road, just round the corner from the bus station.

Its rapid development followed the opening of the railway station on the Epsom to Waterloo line in 1932.

Caption For Hitchin, Walsworth Road 1922

Walsworth Road runs from the railway station to the centre of Hitchin. We might be forgiven for believing that this is a quiet backwater in a developing market town.

Caption For Weybridge, St Charles's Church Interior 1904

This is the interior of the 1881 addition to St Charles Borromeo church; the pictures on the walls show the stations of the cross.

In the centre of the photograph we see the entrance to the railway station, again bringing holidaymakers to the town from different parts of the country.

Caption For Upminster, Station Road 1908

Before Station Road became the bustling thoroughfare it is today, the photographer poses the children on the pavement and in the road to complete this Edwardian scene.

The petrol station on the left with its splendid National Benzole, Esso Extra and Fina petrol pumps is now a Kwik-Fit tyre and exhaust centre.

Caption For Dorridge, Dorridge Road C1960

As we leave the station, the first street we see is Dorridge Road.

Caption For Barnstaple, 1929

The Osborne Hotel is across the road opposite the station's approach. The field in the foreground still produces hay: at least the farming was a constant.

Caption For Bangor, The Pier And The Esplanade 1897

Perhaps it was warm enough to persuade folk to take a jaunting car rather than face the uphill walk to the station.
