Caption For Hove, The Drive 1898

Billy Banks Wood, prominent in views from Castle Walk, is ancient 'hanging' woodland clinging to limestone rock on the south bank of the River Swale just west of Richmond Castle.

Caption For Preston, The Bridge Over The Ribble 1903

This bridge is a railway bridge, and is now part of the west coast main line. Another railway bridge (to Blackburn) can be seen in the distance.

This is an unusual view of St Andrew`s Church, taken from the graveyard looking west towards the main road.

Caption For Plymouth, The Pier From Below 1889

Caption For Bath, From Rainbow Woods 1929

Looking west from Bathampton Down, past the villas of Bathwick across the northern half of the city, we can see how the formality of the ramrod-straight Great Pulteney Street to the left contrasts with

Caption For Edenbridge, High Street 1906

This main street was once part of the Roman road which ran from London to Lewes in West Sussex. The legionaries paved it with ragstone eighteen feet wide and seven inches thick.

Caption For Brighton, The Chain Pier 1870

A superb view of the Chain Pier from the west, showing clearly the pier head, which was designed primarily as a landing-stage for cross-channel traffic; it opened in 1823.

Caption For Looe, The Harbour 1906

Boys stand guard over fishing nets at West Looe. Across the harbour is Buller Quay at East Looe, where three railway trucks can be seen.

Caption For Brackley, Town Hall C1955

The largest town in south-west Northamptonshire, Brackley had a market charter since before 1217, its wealth having come from wool.

This view, looking north along the High Street which gently and picturesquely winds along rather than following a straight line, shows the George and Dragon inn on the left with its projecting

Caption For Burry Port, The Station And Station Road C1955

This can be seen clearly in the rockery and floral arrangements shown here. The railway line west of Llanelli was the creation of the great days of the coal and tin plate trade.

Caption For Sandy, St Swithun's Church C1955

The earliest building work visible dates from the 15th century, and extensive 19th-century restoration means that apart from the west tower very little earlier work can be seen.
