The tower of the church of St Peter was rebuilt in the 18th century after the previous one fell down.
Narrow boats entered a caisson along the trough to the left and were lowered down to the river. One such can be seen sandwiched between two barges.
Admittedly, these are replicas dating from 1880 – the originals burned down in 1711. Southwell Minster became the Cathedral Church of the diocese in 1884.
It prospered in medieval times as an important halt for pilgrims on their way to Canterbury, since it lies just off the North Downs Way.
Now the town council offices, it dates from around 1540; it has had a number of previous uses, including being the town Poor House (from 1762 to 1854), then a post office, an undertaker's and a wheelwright's
Beneath it is a sign that reads 'Black Beauty Shag, excellent for making your own cigarettes, costing 8d and 4d'. The shop has gone and is now a private house.
Mr C H Elkes, a local businessman, offered an eleven-acre field sloping down to the Picknall or Hockley Brook. The recreation ground was opened in 1925.
Thence it was a short walk to Shepperton Lock, where one could watch the progress of craft up and down the Thames to Chertsey or Walton.
Further up the road is the Victorian parish church, which replaced one of 1791 which itself replaced the medieval one, apparently burned down in the Civil War.
Set in the heart of Broadland, it has been called 'little Venice', and its soft green lawns spread down to the water's edge.
The tower was taken down shortly after this photo was taken. The site of the church is now marked out in stones and there is a memorial table. The graveyard has become a pleasant open space.
The wearing of white coats was introduced in some towns during the Second World War; it gave the policeman at least a sporting chance of not being run down during the blackout.
The tower looks down over the attractive village with its timber-framed cottages and Georgian houses.
Note the Golden Leg just down from Brinsmead Pianos - what better place to sup some ale after a hard day's graft in Westgate Street.
It looks peaceful enough, but it is just two miles from the coast, and down by the dunes the sea blows unrelentingly.
Unfortunately, this lovely old building was pulled down and cleared away as recently as the 1930s.
An Edwardian gentleman in his straw boater gazes down on this little group of thatched cottages surrounding the creeper-clad Castle Inn, whose turnover must have benefited enormously from the hordes
The Long Man of Wilmington stands on the northern slope of the South Downs, today marked out in white bricks. Who he is and when he was originally cut into the downland turf is not known.
Beyond the lock gates the Thames will carry the boats down to Laleham and Chertsey.
Long queues of traffic build up here as cars approach the traffic lights at the junction further down the road, roughly at the point where the cart can be seen on the right.
The terrace stepping down the hill on the left is dated 1880. The pump (just visible to the right of the steps) has now been joined by a Coronation seat.
The buildings that run on down Abbey Street have long since been demolished and replaced by The Abbey Centre and a new leisure complex.
Unfortunately, it burnt down in 1926, and during the fire six people were killed trying to save artworks from the building.
The town comprises two villages, Upper and Lower Sheringham, the former more peaceful and retaining its fishing and farming traditions.
