Lambton Hall is situated to the north-east of Chester-le-Street. Work began in the late 1790s, when William Henry Lambton had an old castle on the site dismantled.
A Roman settlement on Stane Street and the navigable River Arun. The village encompasses riverside and hillside, and has a main line railway station. The 15th-century church is on the hillside.
Looking down the High Street we can see Fosters Brothers (centre right) in a new building that replaced the Bear Hotel, one of Daventry's coaching inns.
Boundary Street was still a rough road when these flats were new. Today the flats` distinctive roofline has been renewed; the approach road is metalled now, and there are houses to the left.
The courtyard of the New Inn is easily reached from Northgate Street.
From further up Bear Street we see what was demolished to allow the new road through. Beyond the bow windows is now mechanised mayhem.
Situated in East Grinstead's historic High Street, the Dorset Arms stands on the site of a former hostelry known as the New Inn and then the Cat and Ounce.
There was once a railway crossing at the bottom of Commercial Street, the main business centre of the town.
A very regular row of houses lines this quiet street. I wonder if all the residents were enjoying their first taste of commercial television?
Built in 1906, this was the town's library until 1935, when new premises were completed in Duke Street.
It is a few years after No R87001 (above), and the High Street is still almost deserted - just a couple of cars but no pedestrians, despite the new-fangled zebra crossing.

This is the main shopping street, and it leads up to the Victorian clock tower at one end from the railway station at the other.
The rather smart youngsters show no reaction to the news of the 'new crisis' on the newspaper placard on the left: the Germans had defaulted on their reparations payments.
Here we are looking along Church Street towards the 13th-century tower of St Eadburg's Church.
While the outbreak of the First World War delayed plans, immediately afterwards Carlisle was at the forefront of government- sponsored measures to build new houses.
The older anchorages of Sutton Harbour and Stonehouse, with the greater expanse of the Hamoaze and Plymouth Sound beyond, created a perfect naval base long before the new town of Devonport was founded.

Eckington is another north-east Derbyshire town which formerly depended on the collieries which surrounded it, but which now is finding a new focus as a commuter town for Chesterfield and Sheffield.
