Brown Rigg

I attended Brown Rigg only for a short period of time in 1972, Sept-Dec I recall, so not many pupils from that time might remember me, maybe for being very disruptive. I think I held the record for absconding the most times in such a ...Read more

My Nanna And Grandads House

Caption For Stilton, Church Street C1955

The banks beside the road show how it has eroded with use over hundreds of years; because of this the houses and small cottages on Church Street have steps down to the pavement.

Caption For Barrow In Furness, Victorian Graving Dock And Museum 2004

The highly skilled workforce is still here; it is the scale of operations that has been reduced, as the industrial complexes in Barrow-in-Furness have slimmed down to remain competitive and efficient

Caption For Byfleet, High Road 1951

East of the M25 and the older River Wey Navigation, Byfleet is a suburban village; although it is built along winding lanes, it is architecturally disappointing.

Caption For Sandown, Beach 1918

Behind the coastline are beautiful gardens and walks to attractive spots in the locality, such as Bembridge Down and the Culver Cliffs.

Caption For Finningley, The Pond C1955

Once many villages were clustered around the village pond, and this shot of Finningley in South Yorkshire shows it was no exception.

Caption For Minehead, The Plume Of Feathers Hotel 1892

In the early 1900s the road was widened and the market house and several buildings in the same row were built to the designs of W J Tamlyn.

We have our backs to the Red Lion, and are looking down the A257 Sandwich and Deal road, with Lloyds Bank clearly visible on the right.

This photograph is taken from across the River Medway and showing Victorians strolling along the Undercliff walk and the 'horseway' path down to the river Medway, and Victorian children leaning on the

Caption For Kings Lynn, High Street 1891

This late Victorian scene of the High Street typifies a more tranquil era, where the only signs of traffic pollution appear to be from the passing of the pony and trap further down the road!

Caption For Luton, George Street C1950

Imagine the different noises, smells and preoccupations of the people seen in L117011 in the long-lost world of 1950s Britain.

Caption For Luton, George Street C1965

Imagine the different noises, smells and preoccupations of the people seen in L117011 in the long-lost world of 1950s Britain.

In the original cottages there were usually two rooms on the upslope side of the passage and a 'shippon' (cow shed) on the downslope side.

At the west end of the High Street, London Road curves away north-west downhill.

Caption For Bradford On Avon, Christ Church C1950

Caption For Cowling, The Village C1953

This view looking east down Colne Road in the main street of the village of Cowling, near Keighley, shows the prominent monuments of Wainman's Pinnacle and Lund's Tower on the escarpment of Earl Crag on

Caption For Tiverton, Collipriest Walk 1914

It is clearly high summer and the horrors of World War One were still unknown to these two, even if not for long.

Caption For Goodwood, House C1965

for Charles Lennox, 3rd Duke of Richmond and Gordon, Goodwood House was designed by James Wyatt and includes in its structure parts of a previous house built in 1720.

Caption For Barrow In Furness, South Walney Lightouse 2004

It was built to help ships navigating the River Lune and to guide ships to Glasson docks - it was not built for the benefit of Barrow-in-Furness, as the town was only a small fishing hamlet at the time

Caption For Salisbury, Silver Street C1955

Virtually every shop in the picture has since either moved elsewhere in the city centre or closed down altogether: Marks and Spencer moved to New Canal, and Woolworths to the High Street.

Caption For Saltburn By The Sea, Station Street C1955

The wide and elegant Station Street leads down to the porticoed entrance of the railway station.

Caption For Plymouth, The Hoe 1902

Regular performers included the Royal Marine Band; the Bandstand was hit during the blitz and subsequently pulled down.

Caption For Seatown, Golden Cap 1930

This great peak gives some shelter to the little village of Seatown - a tiny resort of cottages and caravans just down the road from Chideock.

Caption For Kendal, Branthwaite Brow 1914

The others are Finkle Street and Stramongate. This view looks down Branthwaite Brow towards the River Kent.

Caption For Forest Row, Hartfield Road 1907
