A memory of Pittenweem in 1953 by Kenneth Conway

The White Bridge

I loved crossing the white bridge which led to Mottingham horse stables, as I was horse mad! Sometimes when quite young (7 or 8) a steam train would go underneath the bridge and I loved the smell of the steam and the fog!

Caption For Liskeard, Webb's Hotel C1950

The impressive Webb's Hotel is a well-known landmark on the south side of The Parade in Liskeard. Sad to say, it is no longer a hotel, and the garage on the right is now a food store.

Caption For Redditch, Market Place C1955

Blue- and-white and green- and-white striped awnings cover the rows of stalls which threaten to overflow into the churchyard.

Caption For Lindale, St Paul's Church 1898

Spreading cedar trees frame this southern aspect of St Katherine's Church, with its Early English tower with a weathervane, stuccoed walls and Norman nave.

Caption For Southport, Lord Street 1896

A horse-tram has come to a halt outside Stewart's Bazaar and appears to be in need of some urgent attention; the remedy seems to be a large hammer struck against the offending part.

This view shows the Norman work well, with the network of 15th-century vault ribs receding into the distance.
