The tall building on the right is Lloyds Bank. This part of Brighton Road is due to benefit from the construction of the Coulsdon by- pass, commenced in 2004.
It ceased working in 1949, was restored as a landmark in 1953, and since 1987 has been brought back to work by the Waterfield family.
Coningsby, on the south bank, has lost much of its historic character: in this view of Silver Street the house in front of the mill survives, but not the mill; all to the left has gone, and the road at
The Halifax Bank reconstructed the historic building next door to Parrish in 1982 and did a good job.
This view shows the same buildings as C490092 from the other end, showing clearly the Westminster Bank before its amalgamation with the National Provincial to become NatWest.
Tradition says that his stepmother brought him a cup of wine and, as he drank, one of her servants stabbed the king in the back.
The Cornish Bank is beyond, and beside it an omnibus has begun to ascend Wendron Street.
Boroughbridge dates back to Norman times, when a bridge was constructed over the River Ure. In 1322 the Earl of Lancaster sought refuge in the local church following his defeat by Edward II.
In the background is Holy Trinity Church, a most unusual building, which in the 1900s included a tobacconist, a bank, and two butchers' shops as component parts.
The family in the boat are enjoying sailing on a light breeze, and the boy on the bank is fishing, probably for tench, although eel catching is more popular.
Today a bank of windmills is positioned on the crest of the hill, following the age-old tradition of harnessing nature.
Lloyds Bank used to operate from the house on the extreme right. These days it is a private house once more. Next door is the Catholic church of St Peter and St Paul.
On the west side of the green area called the Croft, backing on to the river, are the workhouse and St Gregory's off to the left.
Beyond the bridge is Back Hill Steps. Behind the cottages near the steps is a large three-storey house with gables.
On the left are the backs of buildings that front the High Street, while the yews and hollies in this view survive today.
Back on the A24 London to Worthing Road, and north of Capel, is Beare Green with the Duke's Head pub.

The Opera House complex behind the war memorial incorporates Barclays Bank.
The old building on the right, which still houses Lloyds bank, dates from the early 1900s.
