Oadby Cinema

I can remember going to the Oadby cinema. I believe it was owned, or at least run by the father of a schoolfriend. It was commonly known as the 'Oadby flea pit', not that any of us actually saw or were bitten by fleas

Caption For Greystoke, Castle 1893

Caption For Brinklow, Broad Street C1955

Brinklow was one of 400 new towns deliberately created between 1066 and 1349, when the Black Death brought an end to the practice. Like many of them, Brinklow never really took off.

Caption For Boston, The Windmill C1965

Most of the buildings shown here have either gone or been adapted. An exception is the superb five sailed mill, which takes its name from the Maud Foster drain flowing alongside.

It contains two special glass windows in memory of the Rev Charles Hudson, who lost his life in 1865 during the descent of the Matterhorn.

Christchurch Castle, of which only the ruins remain, was probably built by Richard de Redvers, a cousin of Henry I, who was given the royal manor as a reward for aiding Henry in his fight for the crown

Caption For Ely, Cromwell House And St Mary's Church C1955

The house occupied by Oliver Cromwell whilst he was governor of the Isle of Ely between 1636 and 1647 was at one time the vicarage for St Mary's Church, and is now the Ely Tourist Information Centre.

Caption For Warrington, Church Street 1894

However, popular history associates these Tudor cottages on the corner of Eldon Street with Cromwell's visit to Warrington in 1648 whilst pursuing the Scottish army.

Caption For Moore, The School C1955

An HMI's report of 1956 commented on the unsuitability of the cumbersome old school desks, the lack of dining facilities and the need for new toilets to replace 'the present bucket sanitation'.

Caption For Cardigan, Coracles C1965

The skill of coracle navigation is being demonstrated on the Teifi, just below Cardigan bridge.

Caption For Llandrindod Wells, Middleton Street 1949

True, the shops may have similar uses, but the Victorians made the most of the spa town by building wide, airy thoroughfares.

Caption For Leominster, Corn Square C1965

It looks quiet here now, but once the market at Leominster was so successful that the cities of Hereford and Worcester were jealous of its success.

Caption For Richmond, Aske Hall South Front 1893

This mansion just north of Richmond has been altered by successive owners: the Aske, Bowes and Wharton families, Sir Conyers D'Arcy, and, since 1763, the Dundas family, now ennobled as Marquesses of

Caption For York, The Shambles C1962

Perhaps the best-known of York's medieval streets is The Shambles, seen here looking towards Pavement, and virtually unchanged today.

Caption For New Romney, North Street C1955

It remained the seat of the chief courts of the Cinque Ports, and returned two members of Parliament up until 1832.

Pony rides have always been popular in Yarmouth; the problem of disposal of the droppings is still a disputed one, with local authorities sometimes suggesting that the ponies should wear nappies.

Caption For Hampstead, North End 1898

Not much more than a stone's throw from Jack Straw's Castle, the original Old Bull and Bush can be seen on the right of shot.

Although most associate Bath's waters with the Georgian or Roman period, the spring-fed baths were very popular in Tudor and Stuart times.

Caption For Selworthy, Almshouses 1900

The village is part of the Holnicote Estate, the gift of the Acland family to the National Trust, to which many of the village's thatched cottages now belong - their preservation is thus assured.

Caption For Bridport, From Allington Hill C1960

Here there is a sliver of sea (right of centre) and the plateau of the Golf Links on East Cliff.

Caption For Newark, Appleton Gate 1909

This was one of the principal ways in which Victorian and Edwardian retailers advertised the location of their premises; on large city stores the letters were often six feet high.

Caption For Cardiff, The Promenade, Roath Park 2004

Prior to the advent of mass car ownership cycling to the park was an even more popular option than today. With so many bicycles present this busy scene is more reminiscent of Oxford or Cambridge.
