The New Family

My family moved to no 2 Erme Park in 1967 when I was 3. These were of course the new houses. I remember Mr Burrows (father of Cedric/Zedrick) asking me in about 1973 if I was from the new houses. I of course said no as we'd been ...Read more

The Milano

Yes, the Milano was a little bit of the Left Bank in Wolverhampton. But what about the 'Troc'? It was a much more dubious place. 'Cool, Clean Consulate' were the other cigarettes if you wanted to pose and couldn't afford Passing Clouds. Dainne

A memory of Wolverhampton in 1964 by Dianne Brown

The Meadow, Chislehurst.

We lived in The Meadow, the road opposite Rush Pond, for 30years. Our house is not there anymore, it was demolished and a much bigger house on the site. We had a dear little cottage, St Anne's. I still belong to the ...Read more

Caption For Saltburn By The Sea, The Cliff Tramway And The Pier C1955

Using water ballast to operate it, it still works today, making the journey between town and beach a much easier one. The pier opened in 1869, and was originally 1500ft long.

Caption For Lavenham, Lady Street C1960

On the left is a high-quality Tudor house, with arched windows for a shop at the far end. Opposite is the 15th-century Wool Hall, originally the Guild of Our Lady, with an open hall and cross-wings.

The choir arch and several nave bays carry remnants of Medieval paintings. The tower of 1756 records churchwardens and masons.

Caption For Daventry, The Braunston Tunnel C1955

This view is of the east portal to the tunnel - it looks like any other canal bridge apart from the rusticated arch into the blackness.

Caption For Ystradfellte, Porth Yr Ogof Cave 1936

The three men just visible under the limestone arch give a Lilliputian perspective to the scene.

Caption For Gisburn, The Bridge 1921

This strong two-arched stone bridge spans the River Ribble at Gisburn. Note the two farm carts with shafts designed for sturdy horses to the right of the yeoman farmer's dwelling.

Caption For Rockingham, The Castle C1960

Although relatively little of the medieval castle remains, the highlight is undoubtedly the late 13th-century gatehouse with the arched gateway flanked by massive drum towers.

Caption For Batchworth Heath, 1903

Away to the right are the south lodges to Moor Park, a pair of small lodges linked by a Tuscan Doric arch. From this viewpoint these are now hidden by young oaks.

Caption For Houghton Regis, All Saints Church C1955

Although the parish register dates from 1538, the style, decoration and monumental devices within the church indicate a much earlier presence - at least in the 14th century, since there are brasses commemorating

Its neo- Norman style - complete with round-headed arches and corbel tables - was very much of its time. The triangle beneath the bellcote symbolizes the Trinity itself.

The sycamore tree was cut down amid great hue and cry in 1953 because it was thought to be damaging the arch.

Caption For Launceston, South Gate Street 1949

The earlier picture shows little traffic bar the donkey cart, but the advent of the car meant that by 1949 a traffic warden was needed to control traffic through the arch.

Caption For Launceston, South Gate And Castle 1893

The Plymouth and Devonport Inn, whose sign can just be seen to the right of the arch, is now the Newmarket.

Caption For Newcastle Upon Tyne, Castle 1901
