Caption For Whitby, Arguments Yard 1913

The house on the right appears derelict, and the stone stairs have seen better days.

On the right is the Ordnance Arms, better known to today's tourists as the ivy-covered Hathersage Inn.

Neddy's perennial face appears everywhere, surely nowhere better represented than at Skegness'.

By the beginning of the 20th century, Lulworth was already a popular residential area for the better-off, who may have originally fallen in love with the village on a holiday visit.

The grassy bank upon which some of the spectators are reclining helps to give a better view of the game.

The smaller harbours support their yacht clubs as well, and are often better places for the beginner to learn to sail.

Caption For Melton Mowbray, Sherrard Street C1955

A large chain and stout lock are today's essentials - or, better still, remove the front wheel before leaving.

Caption For Fulbourn, High Street C1950

One hopes that the Express parcel service fared better than the shop's window advertising, which suffers from a number of missing letters!

In the background is an open-top tram - what better way to enjoy the sea air?

Two years afterwards it was renamed Widnes Football Club and is now better known as Widnes Rugby League Football Club or, to the locals, as 'the Vikings'.

Caption For Colchester, The Town Hall 1902

The wonderfully over-the- top Baroque town hall is a triumph for the town, and much better than the pallid neo-classical one it replaced.

Caption For New Brighton, General View 1892

Cheap and tatty eating houses dominated Aquarium Parade to such an extent that it was known better as Ham and Eggs Parade.

Caption For Fulbourn, High Street C1950

One hopes that the Express parcel service fared better than the shop's window advertising, which suffers from a number of missing letters!

Once a thriving port and Westmorland's only link to the sea, Arnside eventually lost its trade to better placed harbours.

Caption For Leintwardine, The Village C1955

Leintwardine straddles an ancient Roman settlement, Bravinium, along Watling Street, (not to be confused with the better known Watling Street that leads from London to Wroxeter).

Caption For Wickham Bishops, Blue Mill C1960

Few can pass over the hump-backed bridge without pausing to get a better view.
