Whitewebbs Lake And Second Woods

Wonderful walks from Clay Hill, past the golf course and on over the bridge on the stream and up through the woods. Little children with their mothers clutching bags of bread to feed the ducks and swans on the lake. ...Read more

The old photographs helped me remember some lovely memories of when I was a very young child, when it was a daily routine walking past the old brick works to go to Eye school,  I believe that just past the brick works  (obviously ...Read more

I was born in Hereford in 1952 to Roland S G Hodges and Doreen his wife. I have fond memories of Kings Caple and Fawley. My grandmother ran the village post office for nearly 40 years right up to decimalization. She ran her Post ...Read more

A memory of Worton by Teresa Lewis

Battersea

I remember the Granada, 6 pence for the Saturday morning flics. I always felt sorry for the plonker that had to do his bit and make us sing along before the flics started. After the show, down to 'Notarianni's for a 3 penny wafer of ice ...Read more

A memory of Battersea in 1949 by Richard Watson

Howe's Garage, Longfield

Rather than Longfield Hill, this looks more like Longfield itself with Howe's Garage in the centre foreground. My Dad worked here from the late 1930s to when he retired in 1973; it was run by his uncle Frank Howe and ...Read more

Long Lost Contact

In 1952 I was serving in the Royal Air Force at R.A.F. Ouston, not far from Wylam. One evening there was a dance in the NAAFI and a number of young ladies came from the Castle Hill Convalescent Home by coach. I met and danced with a ...Read more

Caption For Stanstead Abbotts, View From Cats Hill C1960

Running downhill into Stanstead Abbots from the north-east, Cats Hill presents a formidable hazard to modern motorists. It was not so in the 1960s, without a vehicle in view.

Castle Hill is next to Coopers Hill, and is best accessed from the Abbotswood estate in Brockworth, or from a footpath off the A46.

One of the pleasantest ascents of Pilsdon Pen, the highest hill in Dorset, is from Beaminster and up through Stoke Abbot.

Caption For Clovelly, The Street 1908

Donkeys were used to transport everything up and down Clovelly's steep street: herring, coal and lime came up the hill from the harbour, along with tourists who could not face the walk, while mail and

Caption For Dudley, Panoramic View From Castle Keep C1955

The one thing that has not changed about Dudley Castle is the spectacular views afforded from Castle Hill.

Caption For Worston, The Village 1921

Though parts of Pendle Hill reach over 1,900ft, it never quite makes it to 2,000 feet—the height when a hill becomes a mountain.

Caption For The Wrekin, C1960

Although this is not the highest point in the county, the view from the top of the hill is superb in all directions.

Caption For Bordon, Chalet Hill C1960

This street has become estate agents' row - at Nos 4, 14, 18a and 24 Chalet Hill that is just what you will find.

Caption For Colwall, C1960

This not only brought convenience for local people - it also enabled visitors to come to the area.

Caption For Colwall, Ledbury Road C1945

This not only brought convenience for local people - it also enabled visitors to come to the area.

Caption For Lewes, School Hill 1921

Caption For Salford, Peel Park Museum 1889

He not only secured government funding for the park, but made a generous donation himself.

Caption For Watchet, Harbour 1927

Watchet was one of medieval Somerset's most important towns, and its harbour remained important into the 20th century, exporting iron ore from the Brendon Hills to the south.

Caption For Launceston, St Stephen's Holy Well 1911

The well stands in a tranquil spot on Gallows Hill overlooking the valley. The little building is probably not that old — 19th-century seems to be the local consensus.

Caption For Hillsborough, Main Street 1890

The lamp tells of a long-established gas works; the railway came not long afterwards. The mile-post on the hill still tells of 70 miles to Dublin, but those are Irish miles.

Caption For Alderley Edge, The Edge And Hough 1896

The Edge is not the highest point in the county; at the eastern border with Derbyshire the land rises to nearly 1800ft, and to over 1900ft at Black Hill in Longdendale.

Caption For Camberley, Congregational Church, Southwell Park Road 1931

The church was pulled down to make way for new development which did not take place, although at the present time a decision on planning consent is being anticipated.

Caption For High Salvington, 1919

In 1919 Worthing had not yet sprawled up the valley below Salvington Hill, and you could look across to Cissbury Ring without the neat, but characterless, housing of Findon Valley in between.

Caption For Launceston, St Stephen's Holy Well 1911

The well stands in a tranquil spot on Gallows Hill overlooking the valley. The little building is probably not that old — 19th-century seems to be the local consensus.
