The Gardens Remembered
I am puzzled as to which year this photo was taken. It must have been very late fifties because my earliest memory of The Rest Garden, as we called it, was when it was still recognizeable as a graveyard. The gravestones ...Read more

George Lynn advertises his wares with considerable vigour on the south side of the triangular square, originally called Cross Bank.
To the north beyond Ingoldmells, and rather more genteel, is Chapel St Leonards, where my mother used to holiday in the 1930s.
We are looking towards Roys of Wroxham (on the Hoveton side of the bridge). The wooden building on the right has been demolished, but others remain.
To the left is a pub; the third building along in the distance is Lloyds Bank, and next to it is the Square Brewery. Little has changed, apart from new businesses trading here.
In the 1960s this New Forest village was home to a white witch who roamed around with a crow. A man is hunched over his parked car (right), no doubt tinkering with the engine.
The present-day Market Place was formed from the outer bailey of the castle.
This photograph of The Hard, overlooking Portsmouth Harbour, shows at least three pubs - including The Victoria and Albert in the centre of the picture.
Moored alongside the far bank is a floating tea room which appears to be doing a brisk trade. The rowing boat in the foreground is in fact the ferry to the Dropping Well.

Viewed from the position of what in 2002 became a sparkling new piazza, the 1950s Lytham exhibits little of its potential.

The London and Provincial Bank on the corner of Market Street (left) opened in 1898, and is still and impressive structure. Work on surfacing the road with tarmac is still under way.
Netley, on the east bank of Southampton Water, was another of Henry VIII's coastal forts, though this one was a conversion of an existing building, the gatehouse of Netley Abbey.
The village lies south of Redditch, with Studley and Astwood Bank encroaching from east and west.
Crowds and some cars gather by the eastern end of Rotten Row in Hyde Park.

Here we are looking at shops on the side opposite the Parade.
