Even now there are plans for another bridge which would probably cost around £123 million. Notice the people on the railway bridge footpath.
Another fine window, designed by Morris & Co Ltd in the 19th century, can be seen in the south aisle situated in front of St Aldhelm`s chapel.
Stables to the rear were reached through the archway leading from the town square. It is possible that the inn was licensed by Edward VI in 1548.
This is another view westwards from opposite the Bull Hotel, with a sighting of Boy Scouts in hats (beside the lamp-post) and a pavement placard for Devonshire Cream Teas.
The ability to promenade from one bank to the other via this bridge was further enhanced with the opening in 2000 of another, known as the Butterfly Bridge.
The chapel is another example of Wren's work; it shows Italian influences.
This is a view from the south-east, and shows the Ladies' Gate on the right and the bowed fernery on the left. The brickwork of the original windmill can be seen on the Round Tower.
Farningham is just a short distance from Eynsford, set at another pretty crossing of the Darent between ridges of chalk hills.
Here we see the Grammar School from another angle, looking from East Road back into the city.
Another railway bridge (to Blackburn) can be seen in the distance.
Another view of the imposing white Congregational church which serves both Ansdell and Fairhaven. A vintage tram makes its way down Clifton Drive to Lytham St Anne's.
North of Wainfleet, on the Skegness to Lincoln road, Burgh le Marsh is a market town whose charter was granted in 1401. At its east end is another of Lincolnshire's preserved windmills.
In 1689 most of the town was again burned to the ground when another fire swept through it. As a result, very few houses seen in the town today were built before the 17th century.
At the bottom end of Fore Street, on the right, is another Elizabethan building: the old Grammar School of 1583, with its tall porch bay, now part of Chard School.
Heading south-west towards Dorset we reach Crewkerne, another medieval market town that later specialised in sail- making for the Royal Navy until steam supplanted sail.
To the right, Spout Lane goes round to the other side of the village; as the name suggests it is another watery place and there is still a spring that can be reached down some steps from beside the roadway
To the east there is an outlying stone, over which the sun rises at the spring and autumn equinoxes.
The greengrocer's shop is still trading, although under another name, but the most surprising aspect to modern eyes will be the evident lack of parking restrictions as evidenced by the line of parked
Both on the north and south sands there are numerous bathing machines.
The story goes that 'Bugger Bognor' were King George V's last words when threatened with another recuperation near this seaside resort.
The fashions of the day are interesting; both boys and girls wear blouses similar to those worn by sailors of the Royal Navy.
Nestling below the tree and shrub covered cliffs, with (on this occasion) sun- drenched water, this popular seaside resort has always attracted not only regular tourists but, appropriately,
Caister, just north of Great Yarmouth, has a strong tradition for both fishing and its lifeboat. In 1901, the lifeboat was launched into a storm, and nine out of the twelve crew lost their lives.
Medway, and is another contender for the 'most attractive village in Kent' title. Certainly it seems very well planned around its spacious central green with its mature chestnut trees.
