Brockley Hall, a large Victorian residence, has been used for many years as a Christian Retreat Centre.
Until the latter part of the 20th century, the quaint stone-built town of Brackley suffered from increasing congestion.
In the Sixties 100,000 visitors a year were holidaying at Rockley Sands Caravan Park; it covered some 600 acres of harbourside heathland and pine wood.
A horse-drawn cart carrying sacks makes its way up alongside Brackley's early 18th-century Town Hall, which was built for the Duke of Bridgewater and is attributed to Wren.
At the corner of the B4025 and the entrance road to Broughton Castle, we see the Saye & Sele Arms advertising Chesham & Brackley Breweries Ltd.
This is the most well- known part of Rockley Sands, as it is seen from the Weymouth to Waterloo trains running along the embankment built across the harbour.
The largest town in south-west Northamptonshire, Brackley had a market charter since before 1217, its wealth having come from wool.
A large village, equidistant from Moreton in Marsh and Chipping Campden but not distant enough to develop into a market town itself, Blockley harnessed the water power of its deeply cleft valley
A matching window has been inserted in the middle of the painted Chesham and Brackley Breweries sign, but the rest of the paintwork is still visible.
