How I Found Abbotsley

My Dad, a countryman born and bred, went to London in the late 1920's for work - since there was a huge depression in his type of country work (farm labourer). He met my Mum, and I was born in Thornton Heath, Surrey, in ...Read more

Caption For Camberley, Cambridge Hotel C1955

To the right one can just see the Cambridge Tea-Rooms, a smart place to have morning coffee or afternoon tea. Further up on the right is Whites Garage, with the clock outside.

Caption For Clitheroe, The Weir 1899

Along the Ribble Way, before reaching Gisburn, the river cuts through a deep gorge, perhaps the most spectacular part of its length; but at this point we see the river harnessed.

Caption For Preston, Cheapside C1960

It is nostalgic to see the cars parked in the street - the Morris Minor and mini- vans for example - and no yellow lines and no parking meters. Those were halcyon days.

Caption For Puncknowle, The Watercart 1939

Looking east from the western end of the village, we can see the road junction beside what has become a single Burwell Cottage (centre). Rectory Lane used to be called Duck Street.

Caption For Chippenham, New Road C1960

Further up we can see the sign of the Black Horse. According to the deeds, this was built in November 1843 as a beer house.

Caption For Launceston, Castle Street C1955

The house with the two dormers is Lawrence House, now the town museum, and at the far end we can see the gable of Eagle House.

Caption For Slaidburn, Town End C1955

Here we see the outskirts of Slaidburn.

Caption For Penistone, The Shopping Centre C1960

Here we see the changing face of the Co-op.

Masham received its market charter in 1250 and became known for its sheep fairs; you can see the pens in the background.

Caption For Gourock, Esplanade 1900

Here we see the esplanade with the pebble beach in evidence.

Caption For Seahouses, The Harbour C1936

We can see the signs of the industry in this charming view - crab and lobster pots are stacked on the pier, and the premises of Dawson's, the fish salesman, are beside the sea wall, centre left.

Caption For Sidmouth, Looking West 1924

He died at the house in 1820, though not before he had taken his baby daughter in his arms to see the sea, boasting to locals 'one day she will be your queen'.

Caption For Bala, High Street 1896

In Bala's spacious tree-lined High Street we can see the White Lion (centre right) and a pleasing mixture of building styles.

Caption For Marlow, The Lock 1890

In 1832 it was replaced and here we see the knobbly spire of that date.

Caption For Worth, St Nicholas's Church And The Lychgate C1960

In the picture we see the Priest's House and the lychgate; both have Horsham stone roofing.

Caption For Chepstow, The Castle 2004

Here we see the castle as it is today without its mantle of ivy. It is still a popular tourist attraction - note the figures looking down on the visitors from Marten`s Tower.

Caption For Robertsbridge, High Street C1955

In the picture we can see the 14th-century Castle Inn on the right and Bodiam Stores on the left.The scene is similar today, but the shop is now a tearoom.

Here we see the first half of George Hudson's dream of outdoing Bath. The house where Bram Stoker stayed in 1890 is in the centre behind the lamppost.

This view looks north-east and immediately you see the contrast with most other villages in this book - this is a mainly brick built village.

Here we see the shopping area. Many old favourites on the row include Waterworths the greengrocers and Dewhursts the butchers.

Here we see the entrance lodge to Corporation Park. No expense was spared in the making of the park and its lodge.

The massive circle of stones virtually encompasses the village; here, we can see the Red Lion pub (the white gabled building), the chapel on the right, and domestic thatched housing all inside a stone

Caption For Woodford Bridge, High Road C1950

Further on we see the gabled end of the White Hart Hotel. It has certainly been around since 1729, when the vestry recorded that it had held a dinner there.
