Ellis Street, Crewe
Although I was born in Nantwich (1956), in the Barony hospital, I grew up in Crewe until the age of about twelve. We lived in Ellis Street, which then, if memory serves me right, only had three houses, even though we were in number 8! ...Read more

Perhaps A Year Or Two Early
I'm not absolutely sure the garden was as spick and span as this at the turn of the sixties, but it wasn't that long before it became this way. It had been a ruin until the early fifties when a brutalist electricity sub ...Read more

This view looks north along the High Street past the now 'improved' junction with West Lane.
The next four views were taken in the High Street, which runs westward to Hemplands Lane with the site of the railway station beyond.
In Church Road there are some older houses and the parish church; the south churchyard boundary runs along Church Lane to the left.
In the distance is Wainhouse Tower, 253ft high, with over 400 steps and weighing in at about 9000 tonnes.
In this picture, the camera is looking down Church Street from High Street (renamed Stoke Road in 1959).
Beyond Cundys Lane is High Bank, a medieval hall-house; then comes the thatched 17th-century Tudor Cottage and the former post office.
In the main, the village now lacks either grace or inspiration in its buildings; to some extent, relief can be gained at its western end through the high-walled Bernays Gardens, a few houses around Old
The High Street itself was filling up. Some of the freeholders had been setting up stalls in the middle of the road that were now becoming permanent structures.

High up above Todmorden, half of which used to be in Lancashire, we find this small Pennine village with a surprising number of mills for its size.
During the 18th century, the roads Cherry Bounce, Chapel Street, Bell Road (now St Mary's Road), and George Street were all developing on the east side of the of the High Street and were in
Western Cross is the junction of the High Street, Alton Road, Dunleys Hill and West Street.
This is the College Yard side of the gate, looking through to the High Street and Northgate (formerly Pump Lane).
East of the M25 and the older River Wey Navigation, Byfleet is a suburban village; although it is built along winding lanes, it is architecturally disappointing.
Here we look along the High Street towards the junction with Church Lane. At the end is the Hind's Head Hotel. The Ringers on the right is now the Fat Duck Restaurant.
Still on the green, the camera points south to Steventon Road, the south lane from the High Street, already in 1955 closed to traffic.
Along Padleys Lane, which curves north out of the village amid 1950s and later estate houses, we pass Burton Joyce Primary School.
The church is in one such hamlet with a pub, the Six Bells, nearby; this view looks uphill towards Church Lane at the crest.
Off the north side of the High Street, the buildings are encroachments on the market place; Bletchingley had been a borough by the 13th century.
By now, the High Street was crammed with houses: all the plots had been filled.
It stands on an islet, surrounded by the sea at high tide, and approached by a stone causeway.
East of the park is the village, a figure of eight of winding lanes. This view looks east along Ashby Road to the small green at its junction with Station Road and High Street (to the right).
