Caption For Cobham, High Street 1904

At the end of the parade of shops on the right is the post office, and in the distance Broxmore, housing the doctor's surgery, stood on the site of the present Oakdene Parade.

The former post office, called Hunter's, is to its right. The former Congregational manse is to the left, then the chapel, which closed in 1980.

The garden is often described as one of the most beautiful in England. This photograph shows the village Post Office and an old red telephone box.

Caption For Somersham, The Church 1898

The palace of the bishops of Ely must have influenced this almost completely 13th-century church dedicated to St John. Inside there is a fine 14th-century king post roof with carved bosses.

Caption For Droxford, High Street C1960

The first shop on the left is the post office – it has now moved. Next door is the Bakers Arms pub; in 1961 it was taken over by Mr and Mrs Calder-Smith.

The whipping post has iron manacles of three different sizes to fit all comers!

Lyme was at its busiest in the mid 1950s, as post-war austerity eased, and before airliners opened up new horizons and brought foreign holidays within reach of the masses.

Caption For Camberley, London Road 1901

Next door, towards Bagshot, was the Post Office, run by Mr Norman, who also produced guides to the town.

Caption For Kidderminster, The Town Hall And Swan Hotel 1931

The statue seen here is of Sir Rowland Hill, creator of the penny post.

The elegant lamp posts were a relatively new addition to this picturesque commercial setting, and although the rails carrying the tramcars are evident, it is clear that pedal-power and horse-drawn

Caption For Cosby, The Brook C1965

The brook here somehow appears to be little cared for, with its chipped concrete posts arrayed along weedy banks.

Caption For Kettering, The Roman Catholic Church C1965

St Edward's was completed in 1940, although the redbrick geometrical design looks post-war.

Caption For Great Bardfield, High Street C1965

The garage opposite has reverted to domestic duties, but Hitchcock`s (where the lorry is) is still a thriving concern - part grocer`s, part post office.

Caption For Botley, The Square 1957

On the extreme left is Botley Post Office, and next to it is a chemists; the former is now a dress shop, and the latter remains a pharmacy.

Caption For Baldock, Hitchin Street C1955

Even in the mid 1920s, almost every other building is an inn or a tavern - only the concrete lamp post and the television aerials identify this as the 20th century.

Caption For Arlington, The Post Office C1960

The estate vilage of Arlington with the old post office - now Mill Cottages - lies alongside the Lynton to Barnstaple road.
