Salmon Street

Salmon Street was where I was born, and Kingsdown was where my family lived for at least 140 years. Salmon Street Walk Ler Street never changed that is until the Second World War when we were well and truly bombed. There is so much to say about Kingsdown, too much to put in this small space.

Fantastic Township

I have very fond memories of Coldbackie. It’s one of those fantastic undiscovered gems in Sutherland. My grandparents bought a croft there in the 1950s and I spent much of my childhood playing at the beach, in the woods, or ...Read more

My 6 Years At Stanhope Castle

I have often wondered if I should one day be able to say what happened to me as a child during my 6 year stay at Stanhope. It was like living hell, yes the masters would have been prosecuted for abuse had it happened ...Read more

Summer Days

It was a happy childhood, I was born in Etwall in 1954 and our council house in Windmill Road is still our family home. Some of my fondest memories are the simple pleasures of life as a young lad in the 1950/60s. Always keen to get home ...Read more

Caption For Bebington, Mayer Park 1936

The trees are also much taller today, creating a mature-looking landscape.

Caption For Upton, Ford Road C1960

Traffic lights now stand on this corner, which is much busier today than in the relatively quiet days of motoring.

Caption For Horstead, The Old Mill C1960

The mill was destroyed by fire in 1963: only the millpond and a few brick arches now survive.

Caption For Woodstock, Park Street C1960

The house to the right of the arched entrance at the far end of the street is where the poet Chaucer once lived.

Caption For Stourbridge, New Road C1965

When we compare this picture with 84689 (pages 43-44), it is interesting to see just how much the trees had grown in the thirty years that had passed between.

Caption For Callington, New Bridge 1904

First recorded in 1478, its granite arches were widened on the far, downstream, side in 1874.

Caption For Lustleigh, Wrayland, Old House 1906

Its walls are hidden beneath some rather tatty rendering, but are almost certainly made of granite, which can be seen in the arch below the gable, and in the horse trough in which the little boy is standing

Caption For Ilminster, Market Square 1907

The Post Office c1960 Buckland St Mary Post Office is still a post office, but one wonders for how much longer.

Caption For Frome, Bath Street 1907

Much grander is Bath Street. Its name is appropriate, as its architecture is perhaps reminiscent of some of the later 18th-century parts of Bath itself.

Caption For Kempsey, The Church 1892

Much of this interesting cross church dates back to the 13th century. A monastery which stood here in the 9th century was given to the Church of Worcester.

Caption For Saxilby, Waterside C1955

The arch is that to the 1911 pipe bridge that carries Lincoln’s water from Nottinghamshire. The present footbridge is a Victorian one placed here in 1987.

Caption For Saffron Walden, Myddleton Place C1965

The building has a great number of vertical beams not much more than a hand's span apart.

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 Leyburn, The Market Place C1960

There was not much of an audience to watch the troops as they marched past the Black Swan Hotel in the centre of the picture, although there were a few curious bystanders.

Caption For Devizes, St James' Church, Interior 1898

The four-centred arches cover a short chancel. The stained glass in the east window is by Wailes, 1849. The north aisle's north-east window is by Kempe, 1900.

Caption For Upavon, St Mary's Church Interior C1965

The chancel arch is Norman, with scalloped zigzags. The north and south arcades have four bays and three bays respectively.

Caption For Hailsham, High Street 1902

Much of its wealth and subsequent Victorian building was a result of prosperity based on rope, sacking and string making. The 20th century has added modern shopping centres and a leisure complex.

Caption For Whitby, Sailing From The Harbour C1955

By this time the humble fishing cobles had developed into a sizeable fishing fleet of much larger boats, which meant that they could travel further afield for their catch.

Caption For North Berwick, Tantallon Castle 1897

Tantallon was the stronghold of the Douglases, wardens of the Border Marches, lords of Galloway, and by the end of the 15th century masters of much of Lothian, Stirlingshire and Clydesdale.

Caption For Helston, Grylls Monument 1895

The inscription above the arch proclaims: 'To the Memory of Humphry Millett Grylls'. It was erected to this local worthy in 1834, and paid for by public subscription.

Caption For Hitchin, Churchyard C1955

The view looking north in the Churchyard in the mid 1950s was much the same then as it is today. In 1963, a well was found in the premises fac- ing us, then Wendy's Hat Shop.

Caption For Rothwell, Market Place C1950

Work on the building was finished by J A Gotch, a Northamptonshire architect, who roofed it and filled in the arches.

Caption For Rothwell, Market House C1965

Originally with its ground floor open behind the arches, it was left unfinished, amazingly, for over three centuries, and finally completed in 1895.

Caption For Market Deeping, Market Place C1955

This is the A15 road coming in from Bourne, which makes the traffic island a very busy place - it is now much smaller than it is in the picture.
