Caption For Aylesford, The River Medway 1898

A view from the west bank of the River Medway, looking to the medieval bridge and Aylesford. It is superbly proportioned, with one wide central span and three smaller arches on the approach.

Heading due west for two miles, once again the topography shows that we are just outside the Rhondda proper.

Caption For Heswall, The Church C1935

St Peter's is a building of some antiquity, and this view of the rear of the parish church does not do justice to its clarity of line or the aesthetic appeal of its architecture.

The chancel was widened and rebuilt when All Saints was granted collegiate status in 1283, and the 15th-century west tower incorporates salvaged Roman stones.
