The Chequers
The left-hand elm survives as a 15ft stump draped in creeper, but the right-hand one has gone. Here the architectural revolution can be seen: the older inn buildings are to the right with early 19th-century sash windows, and the taller ...Read more
A memory of Horley
Quaker's Walk
I was employed to fell the elm trees lining the walk during the Dutch Elm disease crisis that cleared so many beautiful trees from a lovely area. My only consolation was the glorious view up to Oliver's Castle which is now sadly blocked by housing estates.

Busk Crescent
Late in 1945 my parents moved to 25 Busk Crescent, in Cove. The house was on top of a hill and overlooked the Farnborough airfield. From the front bedroom you could see aircraft landing on the runway. The house was one of a string of ...Read more

Buses In The Snow
I remember the green double decker buses revving up Crays Hill in the snow and jamming their tyres against the curb to try and get up. We lived in Elm Bank on the hill and sometimes witnessed the buses sliding side-ways back down ...Read more

Childhood Memories
I lived in Alderley Edge as a child between 1947 and 1955. I remember going for walks on the Edge, and being told about a legend that Merlin and King Arthur and his knights were sleeping inside a cave there, waiting to be ...Read more

Days Gone By
My family arrived in Seaforth late in 1939 after we were shipped back from Gibraltar where my father was stationed with the Kings Regiment. Early memories of our house in Holly Grove are vague. My sister Maureen and I, along with ...Read more

Happy Days!
I was a trainee residential social worker at Elm House, Christmas 1974. I spent 2 months at several residential establishments working for the old Cheshire County Council. Fond memories of matron Dolly Barrett and cook Nan.

Bell Hotel, Radstock
I was born at Waldegrave Terrace, Radstock but moved to Elm Tree Avenue, Westfield a mile or so up the hill in 1952 when I was 6. I used to go to Miss Hill's infant school at the top of Bath Old Hill and my sister went ...Read more

From 1935 the station and the Broadway were the hub of the Elm Park Estate. The Grays Co-operative Society shops on the right are now the Post Office and Elm Park Pharmacy.
The tree we see here in front of St Andrew's church was an elm that suffered from Dutch elm disease in the 1960s and had to be cut down.
The road over the bridge leads to Layston church via the elm-lined Causeway. Sad to tell, the avenue fell victim to Dutch elm disease.
These elms trees fell victim to the scourge of the Dutch elm disease in the 1970s.
It remains unchanged today, but the shapely elm tree in the background has gone, presumably a victim of Dutch elm disease.
Elms once lined the drive, but these, like hundreds of others, succumbed to Dutch elm disease. They have been replaced with lime trees.

The great elm in the Square presides over village activity.
Around the corner in Elms Road (which retains many of its mid-Victorian villas) is the Henry Thornton School, within the same site as the Marianne Thornton (C327056) and also part of the Clapham Centre
It remains unchanged today, but the shapely elm tree in the background has gone, presumably a victim of Dutch elm disease.
The fine avenue of elm trees on the left suffered greatly from the ravages of Dutch Elm Disease in the 1970s.
Once a large elm stood close by, but this was lost during the problems with Dutch elm disease. The area around is now built up and lies in the outskirts of Harlow.
Here we see the village green in Elm, with its recently erected memorial to the men of the village who fell in the Great War.
The mature tree (left), a 200-year-old English elm, succumbed to fungal infection spread by bark beetles as Dutch Elm Disease ravaged the countryside in the early 1970s.
The old elm tree stands in the village square. It was felled in the 1980s after it became dangerous and replaced with an oak tree in 1986. The Bell Inn is behind the tree.
The elm trees lasted until the 1970s when an epidemic of Dutch elm disease killed them. In the distance, on the left, is Elmsleigh, a fine house of the 1860s, now demolished.
The long avenue of elms ran to Roundway Estate. Unfortunately, this area is now threatened by developers.
Next door is The Elm Tree Inn, formerly The Salutation, and dating from the 17th century. The elm tree in front was removed in 1826.
The elms on the left of Chapel Lane were removed in 1975 because of the ravages of Dutch elm disease.
This street was named after an elm tree just up the quaintly cobbled street round to the left. The street contains a variety of old buildings, from Tudor to Georgian.
The original 18th-century nucleus around the High Street and the church was still enclosed by orchards and elms in 1950, and Georgian houses still overlook a green.
Before the opening of the Churchill Road in the 1960s the main route from Wisbech to Outwell was through the Market Place onto Church Terrace, then along West Street or Norfolk Street before joining the Elm
All the buildings in this view survive, including the smaller houses in Elms Avenue and the rather good 1850s stucco of the Belle Vue Hotel, with its arched ground floor windows and heavy moulded cornice
Elm Hill was rescued from slum clearance by the Norwich Society in 1927 and beautifully restored. To those who see it now, the intended vandalism is difficult to comprehend.
