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.

Caption For Penarth, The Pier 1896

The machines, which were stored in a walled enclosure, were taken out and wheeled down to the water's edge when they were needed. There are no swimmers in the water, only a few rowing boats.

Caption For Buriton, Vicarage 1898

Could it be that the lack of change in this view brings with it all that we desire in village life? Even the sluice along the wall to the pond is still the same.

It even incorporated a part of the curtain wall, gatehouse and great tower.

Caption For Polegate, The Road To Jevington C1955

Polegate, with its typical flint walls and buildings, lies just below the extreme eastern end of the South Downs.

Caption For Cleveleys, The Arena C1955

Here a party of girls, perhaps on a school trip, sit on the wall waiting for the show to begin.

Bexhill's Parade was constructed on top of the sea wall that had been built in the 1880s as a coastal defence.

Caption For Andover, The War Memorial C1960

War memorials face the church across the Garden of Remembrance, a fitting place for six plaques on curved walling for World War II, 1939-45, and the Cenotaph for World War I, 1914-20.

Caption For Godmersham, The Church 1909

There are stout flint walls, splayed Norman windows and arches, and a tympanum depicting a cross.

Caption For Criccieth, Golf Club 1913

The landscape in this photograph gives the appearance of great antiquity, with low stone walls and irregularly-shaped fields where sheep graze.

Caption For Salisbury, The Close 1906

The Close constable still locks all Gates every night. Large sections of the wall and the gateways are built from stone brought from the original cathedral at Old Sarum.

Caption For Hayfield, Kinder Scout From Kinder Road C1960

The drystone-walled fields lead up to the rocky heights of Kinder Scout, at 2,088ft the highest point in the Peak District.

Caption For Bradfield, The Heath C1955

Here we see C Sparkes' corner shop; there are large advertisements fixed to the wall, and one for Wills' Woodbines attached to the fence. There is also a post box.

Caption For Colchester, Scheregate

Scheregate, the lane in the centre, sits astride Colchester's town wall. The house straddling Scheregate Steps replaces a Roman postern.

Caption For Lowestoft, The Yacht Basin And The Harbour 1921

Private yachts are moored with their dinghies alongside the basin wall. Two paddle steamers are berthed on the opposite quay, and in the centre of the picture a lady is being rowed down to the river.

Caption For Stamford, The Old Infirmary Gate C1955

A plaque has been fixed to the wall above the bench: it is still there today, and states incorrectly that this is the site of the house of the Whitefriars.

Caption For Lincoln, Cathedral 1890

This view from an upper window across Eastgate shows the north side of the minster with the back wall of the cloisters on the left.

Caption For Wroxeter, The Ruined Bath House C1864

The wall on the left separated the exercise area, the palaestra, from the baths proper.

Caption For Richmond, The Castle And The Bridge 1893

On the right is Scolland's Hall, dating from c1075 and probably the oldest domestic building in Britain. The 12th-century keep is on the north side.

Caption For Symonds Yat, Valdasso Café C1960

It is interesting to read the prices advertised beneath the Wall's ice cream 'Stop here and Buy Some' sign outside the café.

Caption For Aylesbury, Market Square C1955

This good bronze by Tweed was unveiled in 1910; it still surveys the square, although the low stone walls either side of the plinth have been removed.

Caption For Lowestoft, The Yacht Basin And The Harbour 1921

Private yachts are moored with their dinghies alongside the basin wall. Two paddle steamers are berthed on the opposite quay, and in the centre of the picture a lady is being rowed down to the river.

Note the tea-room sign on the open first floor window, with 'Tea and Coffee Specialists' emblazoned on the upper wall of the building.
