Caption For Kingswinford, The Shopping Precinct C1965

Was the Millennium Dome at Greenwich based on Kingswinford shopping centre? Perhaps we should be told!

Caption For Thurstaston, St Bartholomew's Church C1955

The first mention of St Bartholomew's church dates back to 1125, and that structure survived until 1820. It was replaced by a fairly plain church, which was largely demolished in 1885.

Caption For Daventry, From Newnham Hill C1960

We are looking down on Daventry from Newnham Hill, a view that has been changed by a pink rash of housing estates as the town rapidly expanded from its comfortable 5000 in 1955 to around

St Oswald's Church sits on a slight rise.

Horses were still commonly used on the land, and this scene, showing the loading of a hay wagon on the shores of Buttermere, with Honister Crag and Fleetwith Pike prominent in the background, demonstrates

Caption For Swanbridge, The Spinney C1955

It is accessible by foot at low tide, and many a holidaymaker has fallen foul of the tide's rapid reversal – a sobering cold night spent on the island their reward.

Caption For Anstey, Pack Horse Bridge C1965

The 16th-century stone bridge steps quietly by way of its five arches across the reedy Rothley Brook; the original roadway into the village is now reduced to a footpath.
