Caption For Combe Martin, 1930

Combe Martin`s early prosperity came from its lead and silver mines, which were worked from prehistoric times.

Caption For Bude, On The Canal 1920

These were horse-drawn and, instead of locks, used slopes called inclined planes. Power was provided at these points, and the tubs were hauled up (or down) to change water levels.

Meanwhile down in the town, away from the lush gardens and villas of Amersham Hill, the furniture industry was modernising into the factory system.

Caption For Whitchurch, High Street C1955

This is a view of the same street looking down the hill. Notice how in this and the other pictures of Whitchurch, the street lights are suspended above the centre of the street.

The impressive and imposing ruins of Malmesbury Abbey look down on the river Avon 60 feet below.

Caption For Polperro, 1888

Polperro is the archetypal Cornish fishing village - a higgledy-piggledy maze of narrow streets leading down to a perfect, tiny harbour.

Caption For Bath, Royal Victoria Park 1911

The cannon has now gone, but Davis' four pedestrian entrance gateways, two surmounted by Egyptian lions, remain: elegant and Soane-like architecture in a pared-down Greek style.

Caption For Bath, From Rainbow Woods 1929

Looking west from Bathampton Down, past the villas of Bathwick across the northern half of the city, we can see how the formality of the ramrod-straight Great Pulteney Street to the left contrasts with

Looking south down Scale Hill, once known as Church Lane. The first building on the right is the tramps boarding house, on the site of the Chequers Inn.

Caption For Langdon Hills, The High Road C1950

The hilliness of these parishes was often cited as the cause of the 'Pure Air and Good Health' lauded in the property advertisements.

Caption For London, Westminster Abbey C1867

This sublime abbey, scene of many coronations down the centuries, is probably the most famous of English religious buildings, and considered the pinnacle of European Gothic architecture.

Caption For Handforth, The Greyhound Inn And Wilmslow Road C1965

Looking south down the main road towards Wilmslow, with the road over to Macclesfield going off to the left, affluent Cheshire is driving towards the viewer and the young couple wait for

Caption For Panfield, The Church Of St Mary And St Christopher 1906

The lovely timber porch was left relatively untouched, however; and a grave-slab from an earlier church has recently been discovered beneath the pews. The rectory burned down in the 1950s.

Caption For Combe Martin, Seaside Hill And Harbour C1955

The lorry coming down the hill (left) is a sign of changing times; by the fifties most goods were being moved by road, and the ketches seen in photograph 63963 (p.73) were long gone.

A small village, built to house Parham Estate employees, Cootham is situated near to the foot of the downs.?

Caption For Budleigh Salterton, From West 1925

This fine view along Budleigh's strand looks towards the mouth of the River Otter and the bulbous cliff top of Otterton Ledge.

Caption For Bridport, Allington 1902

It says a lot for this landscape that artists of all kinds have responded to it and interpreted it in diverse ways.

This view was taken from the top of Brunel's railway viaduct and looks down New Road to the bridge and the beginning of the High Street.
