The branch railway arrived in Ashburton in 1872, but did little to revive the town's fortunes. Here the local policeman chats to workmen, and the main street looks almost bereft of traffic.
Here we see the railway junction for the Uppingham branch, although little remains today to show that the railway passed through.
Today a branch of Blockbuster Video occupies the site.
Over the years Bordon expanded as a civilian community, and it also developed as a training ground used by military units and other branches of the Armed Forces.
It lies adjacent to the older village of Rossington, but took over in importance when mining became the local industry, gaining its own branch of the Doncaster Co-operative Society, seen on the right.
This view looks across the broad expanse of firm sands to a goods train, which is probably carrying slate on the now-vanished harbour branch of the railway.
E A Hodges has become just another branch of Dillons, presumably as a result of a take-over.
An architect-designed villa on the left has probably recently been built in this settlement, which is just north of Callington and at the terminus of the railway branch line from Plymouth.
On this side of town the Midland operated a short goods branch to Brampton.
In the 1960s it was home to a branch of the Runcorn and Widnes Industrial Co-Operative Society.
It now houses a branch of Boots, the chemists, and all the plaster on the front façade has been recently removed revealing a beautiful jettied timber building.
St Mawes lies on a sheltered branch off Falmouth harbour. Here we see the as yet undeveloped village and waterfront from the pier.
Jax, a cheerful low-price dress shop for younger customers, replaced the more staid Co-op; Millett's, which began by selling army surplus goods, branched into camping equipment and tough outdoor clothes
Wainwright the chemist's (right) is an old Eastleigh firm that until recently survived in the centre of the town, but this branch has become a showroom for heating appliances.
There was a Co-op branch in this street, and Mainwaring`s (extreme left) was an important store here.
George Oliver`s shoe shop (left) was one of several Cornish branches in the early 20th century; it still exists in a modernised form as Messrs Timpson.
On the right, a road branches off to Wheathampstead. Codicote had a number of interesting charities.
A branch of Barclays Bank lies further down the street on the corner.
On the left is Quay Station, built in 1874 for the Ilfracombe branch; it was demolished in 1922 when Town Station was built on the other side of the Taw.
The 'Welford Arm' runs east for one and a half miles from the Leicester branch of the Grand Union Canal and opened in 1814.
The railway ran to Great Torrington when this view was taken; it later extended to Halwill Junction and the North Cornwall branch lines.
Nearby, beyond the Anchor pub, is a branch of Macfisheries, the famous fishmonger.
Town Lock is one of two mechanised locks; the other is Newark Nether Lock at the northern end of the branch.
A branch of Tesco Metro now occupies the building. The best clue to recognising the building today is to look for the two flagpoles. Other redevelopment in the High Street has also taken place.
