The bus in the distance has just passed Ford Bridge. Once called Stratford (the `street ford`), this was where the Roman road crossed the River Chelmer.

Caption For Chepstow, Horseshoe Bend 1950

Just up river from the bridge and the castle, this would appear to be a view from Wintour`s Leap of the beginning of the great Horseshoe Bend which encompasses the peninsula of Lancaut.

In the new millennium, it is now time to update the town centre's image by developing high quality, long lasting Visionary Buildings and Open Spaces During the severe flooding in September

Caption For Edenbridge, High Street C1955

Even in the mid-fifties, Edenbridge retained some of its atmosphere as a small agricultural town, strung out along the Roman road which reached out across the Weald from Lewes to London.

Caption For Stamford, From Meadows 1922

This view looks east along West Banks, with its numerous small bridges, to the mainly late Victorian artisan cottages (some are dated 1901).

Caption For Aylesbury, The Canal 1897

This view looks along the towpath towards Park Street bridge. The Nestle's factory is just out of sight on the right. The boys are fishing from a miniature wharf which still survives.

Caption For Accrington, Blackburn Road 2004

Just on the left along Bridge Street was a borehole testing for the coal seam, and it is not surprising that when the lift shaft was being dug for the Argos store on the higher corner that coal should
