Caption For Potterne, Old Houses And Church 1898

Without doubt the best known building in Ipswich, the Ancient House (or Sparrowe's House) with its incredible plasterwork.

The High Street sports a branch of F W Woolworth, and the local branch of the National Provincial Bank is housed in half-timbered style premises.

Beyond the industrial area are some of the most beautiful houses in Frome, which date from about 1700. Willow Vale House still retains its ivy.

The cabin at the top of Clare House pier still occupies its site; however, it was demolished when the promenade was constructed.

Behind the corner of the Boat Float, and distinguished by a white awning, is Parade House (centre), built in 1880 to replace the Assembly Rooms.

There are more stones on the beach now, and the house in the background, Mere Bank, which is now part of an exclusive housing development, is obscured by mature trees.

Standing out proudly in this photograph of Horsham's most interesting street is Causeway House, a picturesque half-timbered building dating back to the late Tudor period.

Caption For Waterbeach, The Bridge Hotel, Clayhithe C1960

Originally called the House of Lords, this public house was enlarged by the Bridge Company when the ferry closed. It was renamed the Clayhithe Ferry in the 1880s, and by 1916 had become a hotel.

Caption For Rothley, St Mary's Church C1955

The large size of this Charnwood commuter village is hardly reflected in such an idyllic scene as this, a curving roadway with modest houses leading directly to the west door of the 13th-century church
