Caption For Haverfordwest, Market Street 1950

Looking down Market Street towards St Mary's with the spire of St Martin's just visible beyond.

Caption For High Wycombe, View From The Guildhall C1955

From the arches of the Georgian Guildhall the camera looks down White Hart Street. The buildings on the right replace medieval market place encroachment.

Caption For Thrapston, De Vere Road C1955

Pairs of 1930s semis seem to march down the hill, the view made more bleak by the brutal municipal pruning of the silver birch trees - they are now no more substantial than the street lamp or the telephone

Caption For Porthgwarra, Cove And Caves 1908

There is just space to bring a few open fishing boats between the rocks to a slipway at this little cove down by the granite cliffs of Gwennap Head.

Caption For Guildford, High Street 1903

A picture taken eight years later than No 35060A, and lower down the High Street towards the river.

Caption For Ryde, Union Street 1904

Much of its architecture dates from the 19th century, a reminder that the Victorians made this island their own as a holiday and residential location.

Caption For Warnham, Corner House 1921

After the horses had been changed at Kingsfold, the stagecoaches ran through Warnham down Little London Hill, past Warnham Corner at the junction of Station Road.

Caption For Wass, The Village C1960

The view from Keeper's Cottage, left, leads us down the lane towards the Wombwell Arms, named after local landowner, Sir George Wombwell.

Caption For Youlgrave, Church Street C1955

The splendid Perpendicular tower of All Saints, Youlgreave, is one of the finest in the Peak District, and commands this view down Church Street.

Caption For Teignmouth, From The Pier 1903

The bathing huts will soon be winched down to the shallows so that modest ladies can paddle discreetly.

Owned for centuries by the Aspinall family, Pendleton was an old village when the Domesday Book was compiled.

In the 19th century, fungus started to attack the elm and ash trees, and in August 1891 an ancient mulberry tree planted by monks from Blackfriars Monastery blew down.

Caption For Wantage, Market Place C1965

The statue of King Alfred, erected in 1877, looks down on a car park taken over every Wednesday and Saturday by market stalls.

Caption For Chatham, High Street C1955

The dome further down the street was on the old Empire Theatre, which could seat 2,500 people. It specialised in music hall-style entertainment before it closed during the 1960s.

Caption For Eastbourne, The Pier 1925

Two smart white-liveried motor charabancs are collecting holiday makers from the pier, possibly for the advertised excursion over the South Downs.

Caption For London, Westminster Abbey 1908

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 Hawes, Haymaking 1924

Mechanisation might well have reached market traders, but down on the farm things were different. Here a sled is being put to good use during haymaking near Hawes.

Caption For Thorpe St Andrew, The River Yare 1919

Further down is the Rush Cutters pub.

Caption For Staines, The River 1907

A little further downstream, just through the railway bridge, the view down river from the Staines bank has changed; now there is extensive housing development on both banks, much fortunately still hidden

Caption For Hutton, The Village C1947

It closed down as a shop and post office in the late 1970s. The YHA sign on the right points to the youth hostel that used to be at the end of Eastfield Road.

Caption For Chelmsford, Duke Street 1906

Further down, the shop with the clock and the 'eyes' was later removed in a road-widening scheme.

Caption For Great Waltham, Chelmsford Road C1965

This delicacy probably went down well with Vitbe. Snow's is now a house caleed, appropriately, No 1 Snows Court.

Caption For Dublin, The Castle, The State Entrance 1897

The Norman castle burnt down in 1684 and little survives. It was replaced by the present castle - more of a palace - built around Upper and Lower Castle Yards.
