The houses on the right were built by the council not long before the photograph was taken, and from their appearance several are now privately owned.
It passed down through the Jocelyn family, whose monuments can be seen in the church of St Mary the Great. Hyde Hall was extended in 1806 and completely refurbished in 1869.
It was built on the site of Mother Downes' charming thatched cottage in 1870 and was much enlarged twenty years later.
Positioned cosily under the downs, and with its cluster of thatched and slate-roofed cottages around it, the Perpendicular tower of St Lawrence's Church rises above the surrounding gravestones.
It was down Baxtergate that Freeman, Hardy and Willis had their branch. Coal mining was a major employer: Doncaster was ringed with pit villages.
Here we see the brick tower mill, with a replacement roof in place of a cap, in a stripped-down and derelict condition. The photograph was taken from a nearby watermill site.
The new Britannia Pier opened in 1901 with a temporary pavilion, which was pulled down to make way for a permanent pavilion a year later. It fell victim to fire in 1909, though it was replaced.
The butcher's shop is interesting in that it is open on two sides; the butcher either cuts his meat in the street, or he has brought the block out to swill it down.
The cows are lying down, a sure sign of rain, the old saying goes, but whether this is true or false they add a picturesque finishing touch to a watery scene.
The pedestrian route to Shugborough still passes down the lane, beneath the railway bridge of 1848, over the canal and across Essex Bridge.
The smaller bridge to the right crosses the old boat slide, a weir bypass for rowing boats, an exciting and brief run down rollers from the upper river to the lower, and once common on the River Thames
Just beyond, down the road, is J J Bacon's Stores. The village has a wealth of old houses, including a row of Kentish weatherboard cottages flanking the side of the parish church.
A secluded village in the middle of the Downs near the Hampshire border, south of Harting. There is a fine Neolithic long barrow on Telegraph Hill, which is 534 feet high.
A hilltop village on the southern edge of the Worth Forest with distant views of both the North and South Downs. St Leonard's church was built in 1895.
This stands close to the site of Assington Hall, which burnt down in 1957. Parts of the outbuildings survived, including the range to the left of the church.
Chapel Street and Duke Street run down towards Bildeston Hall (right). The burial ground of the Baptist chapel, rebuilt in 1844, is opposite the Hall.
Looking down New Street to the Moot Hall, we can see on the right a brick Georgian house where many BBC trainees lodged in the 1960s.
As we look down to the junction with Watling Street, on the left is the former W H Smith's shop, now offering haircuts!
Tewkesbury's cross stands at the meeting point of the town's three main roads – the High Street, Church Street and Barton Street.
Architecturally it also descends from the heights of the High Street, except for the timber-framed building on the left half way down.
Take a stroll down Church Lane and you can see that the scene on the right of this photograph has not changed at all.The little cottage on the left has been replaced by a redbrick house, and there
Trams first trundled down Cheltenham's streets on 22 August 1901. By the end of the 1920s they had been rendered redundant by the quicker, go-anywhere buses, and the trams were withdrawn in 1930.
Built in 1859, it replaced another from the 1700s which burnt down.
We are looking north down the slope to Station Way, and the bridge which dates from the opening of the railway in 1847.
