Down The Valley
I guess this photograph is looking down the valley with the photographer standing near The Square. I can't quite remember the name of the hill (Alexandra Road?) just out of shot on the front left of the photo. It had a pub halfway up on the left, and a doctor's clinic if I recall correctly. Paul

Even the elegant steam cruiser the 'Gondola', seen here moored at the pier, is still taking passengers up and down the lake.
Note the goods piled outside on the pavement outside Jackson's hardware store on the right, and the horse and cart further down the street.
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. We can just see the swing bridge in the background.
Set where the old county of Westmorland reaches down to the sea, this bracing small seaside resort and ship-building port enjoys splendid views of the fells at its back.
Further down we come to the crossroads with Michaelgate and Christ’s Hospital Terrace.
Building work carried on apace in the town in an attempt to keep up with the influx of visitors. Hotels and lodging houses sprang up in the narrow streets radiating out from the church square.
The lady looks ready to pull down the sun awnings!
The growth of Lowestoft in Victorian times was largely down to construction by the civil engineer Samuel Morton Peto, who lived in the splendid Somerleyton Hall nearby.
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. We can just see the swing bridge in the background.
The lantern tower of St Botolph's dominates the town and the surrounding countryside. The river flows down into the Wash.
This view looks down the hill into the village. The Old Crown Inn and the adjoining cottages are faced by the Georgian houses on the other side of the green.
She painted the original cottages on this site just before they were pulled down amid much outcry in 1885, and replaced by these mock-Tudor buildings.
Passengers occupying the roof seats were able to enter the hotel directly through an upper door, saving them the nuisance of having to clamber down from the coach.
Cars parked down the centre of the High Street occupy the site of the historic outdoor town market, which still operates today and makes this area a very busy place on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Holiday bungalows and chalets line the skyline, and the Cove Café is perched on a shelf halfway down the cliff (centre).
Behind us is the entrance to Dunmow`s secondary school, Helena Romanes, which was built in 1958-59 to replace the Council School on the Downs.
The River Sid starts its short journey to the sea amidst the high land at Broad Down and Farway; here the Bronze Age inhabitants of East Devon buried their dead.
It stands below Efford Down, on top of which is the Storm Tower, also built by Acland.
Its former watermill, also partly Tudor, is approached down a short leafy lane and has in recent years been carefully restored.
A car passes up the High Street, while a horse-drawn conveyance comes down the hill.Wright's Garage, on the right, emphasises that shortly after the First World War the internal combustion engine had
Cheap Street, off Market Place and now pedestrianised, retains its medieval and Tudor character: it has a stream running down its centre in a channel.
This lane dips precipitously down into the valley of the Kensey and St Thomas's Church. On a rise in the distance is the church of St Stephen.
The tramway ran for the last time in 1981, with vandalism causing the entire pier to shut down a decade later. Money continues to be spent on upkeep, and the pier opens on special occasions.
