The 1940s
Hi all. My name is John Potter. I have found out the last address of my Gran and Grandad Hollands, at 78 High Street, Halling. I remember going across a bridge past the graves in a wood on the right to the allotments to help my grandfather, ...Read more

Happy Holidays.
I went to the Green Dragon with my aunt for a holiday, I was about 10 years old and thought it very grand. In later years when I was in my 20s I took my mother there. We had a very nostalgic holiday touring around the Malvern Hills and Shakespeare country. It was a happy time.

Over the last half century the Green has altered very little.
The village store faces the war memorial on the green, which appears to have been fenced off. Surely this was not protection from vandals!
On a sunny weekend day the customers of The Tiger Inn, out of view to the right and very popular with walkers, spill onto the green and bring it vigorously to life.
Here on the Green those visitors who did not wish to dabble on the sands with Punch and Judy, minstrels and organs could enjoy the relative peace of this area to read, write a postcard or
Unfortunately, The Green today is not as traffic-free as in this picture. No 30, left, is an attractive early 19th- century double-fronted house with a Roman Doric pedimented porch.
Bilsborrow lies between Lancaster and Preston on the traffic-laden A6 road. The White Bull inn dates from the 18th century, and still believes in a roaring coal or log fire in winter.
A pony and trap stand on the main road which passes by the foot of the green on the left, around which are the tile-hung yeomens' cottages and the village pub.
St Margaret's stands on high ground at the southern end of the present village near the green at Newgate.
The War Memorial 1921. East Dean's simple war memorial fits well on the green of this flint-built village.
The Green Man is a common pub name (and church carving), deriving from an ancient fertility figure, though his exact significance is uncertain.
Amongst the facilities provided by the Cliftons was the old lifeboat house, built largely from cobbles and overlooking the promenade wall.
The centre of the village, with its attractive houses round the green, is marked by a market cross reminding us that Henry III had granted a license to Thomas de Greystoke for a weekly market and fair
Hidden away behind the Green Man Inn, the Red Lion is nowadays a popular, floodlit public house, painted a glowing orange but retaining the thatched roof.
As a resort Alnmouth was noted for its excellent golf links, said to be one of the oldest in England.
The village lies south of Redditch, with Studley and Astwood Bank encroaching from east and west.
This view looks eastwards from the pier. The gap in the buildings marks the south side of the green, down the middle of The Steyne, laid out in 1807; it copied that in Brighton and borrowed its name.
Water weaves its magic through the fabric of this little village, and the fountain on the Green makes a focal point in the perfect picture; its design echoes the steeply pitched and gabled
The Green Dragon at Hardrow, the cosy interior of which is shown here, is probably best known as the entrance point to the rocky amphitheatre of Hardrow or Hardraw Force, at 100ft/30m England's highest
The new town is gathered around an expansive green. Hunstanton grew out of the hamlet of Hunstanton St Edmund, sited low on the cliffs and owned by the Le Strange family of the Hall.
