Barton Road
I remember growing up when Barton Road was surrounded by a large orchard that myself and my friends would play in. This would be around the mid 70s. Safe and fun, trying to build up a picture and memory of families that lived there around the same time.

In 1850 South Shields (including Westoe) became a municipal borough; Harton was added in 1901, and Cleadon Bank and Harton Village in 1921.
In this view the photographer looks along Fore Street past The White Hart; on the opposite side of the road there is a raised pavement.
The White Hart on the left is the only pub left in the village.
The White Hart on the right of Thrapston High Street closed in 1970, and was later demolished to make way for a new library and fire station.
In particular, the White Hart on the right and the hipped-roof building next to it have been on the site since the 16th century.
The work of possible architect John Hart on Bristol's St Stephen's Church is remarkably similar but stylistic details are also shared with the Jasper Tower of Llandaff Cathedral.
The White Hart on the left survives, as, of course, does St Peter's church beyond the neo-Georgian shopping parade.
Since the 1960s Earls Barton has doubled in size; now the new housing estates in the village attract commuters who travel daily to Northampton, Wellingborough and elsewhere.
The novelist Elizabeth Goudge lived with her parents in nearby Barton Lane.
We now leave the old tithing of Eastley and come over the London to Southampton railway line into Barton.
This view shows the Barton Road Swing Bridge over the Manchester Ship Canal.
Only a couple of miles from Kettering, the village of Barton Seagrave retains plenty of charm and character.
Our brief foray into parkland is over and we reach Earls Barton, some six miles east of Northampton.
It was built by the Barton family in 1883.
Immediately east of Wicksteed Park, on the higher ground above the River Ise, Barton Seagrave has a small core of stone-built houses and cottages and a good Norman church around a triangular green.
Barton-upon-Humber was once a rival to the port of Kingston upon Hull on the other side of the river Humber, but it is now a much smaller settlement, and the Market Place confirms that most definitely.

The pretty little village of Barton Mills, and the Bull Inn.

A charter of incorporation was granted in 1892: the borough was formed out of Barton, Eccles, Winton, and Monton.
Considerably smartened up now, Hayes Barton is otherwise unchanged from this view.
This is a peaceful scene, with horse and cart on a deserted and remarkably leafy Lewes Road.
West Hill House, right, at the corner of Market Hill and Quarr Barton, is Grade II* listed; it was the home and surgery of Dr James for 42 years.
Its landmark features are the ancient Barton Bridge in the centre, also known as Packhorse Bridge, and the spire of the parish church of Holy Trinity to the left.
