My Childhood

This picture reminds me of the time when a petrol tanker careered down Wakefield Road and crashed into the side entrance of the town hall. This road (pictured) was closed off for a day while the fire brigade dealt with the crash. I can ...Read more

Willam Hampton

Hi, what a good site, my dad worked for Willam Hampton whose yard was by the Star School. It is now a recycling centre, but the school looks just the same. I went to Bond Road School and remember playing football against the Star. ...Read more

The Road To Town

This is the road from Meads to the town centre. I grew up in Meads and so it is no exaggeration to say I have been down here a thousand times over the years. It looks remarkably similar today. The flint wall on the left is still ...Read more

Hunslet

I was born in 1952 and lived with my grandparents, mum and dad in Cross Whitehouse Row, Hunslet. When I was 6 months old we moved up across Hillidge Road to Ashbourne Street and then up to Belle Isle when I was about 4. It was a new house, ...Read more

Cowplain Shops

Like David, I remember Carters' Sweet Shop. I was a regular customer in the early to mid 1970s, when I attended Padnell Infants and then Padnell Junior School. Mr Carter handed it over to his daughter, who I think was called Alison, ...Read more

Memories

For Jane, No I'm not Susan Weeks, although the name rings a bell. Looks like we had the same playground, Hesketh Park was great for skating in and Central Park was another great place to run riot in. Regards Susan PS I think the pub in Dartford Town Centre was "The Bull". Please tell me if Im wrong!

The main line railway station is to the south of the village centre.

Caption For Castle Combe, Village 1904

Castle Combe was originally the site of a Roman villa; the Normans built a castle here, and for centuries the village was a centre for cloth weaving.

This view looks south to the old Town Hall, the building in the centre in the distance.

Caption For Capel Curig, The Llugwy Valley 1891

It is now home to the National Mountaineering Centre at Plas Brenin, but has been known for many years for its superb view of the Snowdon 'horseshoe'.

The site is now merely a car park for the somewhat less distinguished Regis Centre.

West of the town centre, Mill Street climbs uphill to West Street and remains little altered since the 1950s, although the bus stop has gone.

The town has also developed as a conference centre.

Caption For Penarth, Lansdowne Hotel 1896

The block near the centre of the Esplanade, completed by Speed in 1904, was of major benefit to visitors, providing both restaurant and accommodation facilities.

Caption For Penarth, Esplanade Hotel From Pier 1896

At the centre are the public swimming baths housing two saltwater pools, the larger capable of hosting international water polo matches and, when boarded over, doubling as gymnasium.

Caption For Devizes, Market Place C1960

The old Town Hall (centre right) was built in 1752 on the site of the old Guildhall; the front is thought to have come from a demolished mansion.
