Caption For Windermere, The Main Street 1929

The gardens, barely visible to the right, are those of the big house, Ellerthwaite, which now houses the public library and the Citizen's Advice Bureau.

Bull baiting, bare-knuckle boxing and cock fighting all took place, often watched by up to 500 men.

Caption For Cleethorpes, The Beach 1906

Here we have a wonderfully evocative sign of the times: a beach scene in high summer and not a glimpse of bare ?

Caption For Caernarfon, Boats 1890

The calm, barely rippled water reflects diffused rays from an equally liquid sun.

Caption For Torrisholme, A Waggonette At The George Hotel C1965

Torrisholme was once a hamlet two miles north-west of Lancaster, and was one of the three villages which combined with Bare and Poulton-le-Sands to make up Morecambe around 130 years ago.

Caption For Compton, The Village C1955

This view, looking downhill, is now barely recognisable: the cottages by the telegraph pole were cleared for 1960s road widening.

Caption For Upper Dicker, The Dicker C1955

At the crossroads stands The Dicker, a somewhat eclectic and odd mansion of 1908, now St Bede's School.

Caption For Higham Ferrers, Market Square C1955

It is most famous for the superb church and the 15th-century Archbishop Chichele Bede House and School.

Caption For Bare, The Promenade C1955

To the north of Morecambe is the quieter sea front of Bare.

Caption For Skegness, The Clock Tower 1899

The bare Marine Gardens stretch along Grand Parade up to the Pier, broken only by the footway leading past the iron fountain to the beach.

Caption For Hope Cove, 1925

Much of this bare hillside between Outer and Inner Hope has now been built upon, but the tiny church remains and the coast nearby is wild and spectacular.

Caption For Morwenstow, The Church Font 1910

This remote church was visited by the writer Baring-Gould.

Caption For St Blazey, Station 1904

There are two trains in the station, one barely visible in the background (centre left).

Caption For Feckenham, High Street C1967

In fact, Feckenham was virtually a town when Redditch was barely even a village.

Caption For Morecambe, The Central Pier 1888

Here, carriages wait to take passengers along the seafront or to the nearby small, inland villages of Bare and Torrisholme.

Caption For Scarborough, The Beach C1960

With barely enough room to build a sand castle, the children seem somewhat constrained.

Caption For Laindon, View From St Nicholas Church C1960

Although these houses are little changed today, the view from St Nicholas's car park across Markhams Chase is barely recognisable now.

Caption For Old Swinford, Hagley Road C1955

The view is greatly changed today, with the cottages on the left barely recognisable.

Caption For Cwm Llinau, The Old Mill And River C1960

Only a short river, the Llinau rises about three miles upstream from the site shown here, before meeting the Tyfi.

Caption For Eastbourne, The Helen Garden C1960

The hedges, plantings, paths and the thatched pavilions have strikingly civilised what was a windswept bare grass area.

Caption For Lulworth, 1894

The entrance to this circular natural basin is barely discernible from the sea, guarded as it is by two projecting spurs of resistant Portland and Purbeck strata.

Caption For Llandough, View From Cardiff Road C1955

The house, barely visible behind the thick hedgerows, is of recent construction in stucco with tiled roof.

Caption For The Men Scryfa, 1890

It is an impressive yet sad monument standing lonely on the bare moor; its meaning is a mystery.

Caption For Triscombe, The Quantocks, Wills Neck 1929

Here the lane descends to the hamlet past Triscombe Farm with its thatched barn.
