Here we see the river bridges and Nag's Head island, which separates the main river on the right and the back water on its left.
Even Brierley`s boatyard on the corner of the Hen Brook (right) is back in business.
Much has gone, including the old Rose and Crown, which was replaced around 1900 by the present mock timber-framed one set back from the road: a townscape disaster.
Dating back to the 13th century, the castle is one of the most impressive ruined fortresses in Scotland; the Douglas Tower took 36 years to build, and is thought to be the work of French masons because
Canal Street, Wharf Street, and Mill Lane on the right run back to the river.
Some of the structure dates back to William's days, but most is mid to late 14th-century, with 18th- and 19th-century buildings in the outer ward.
Back in 1851 Sheffield was one of the towns at the centre of a price-cutting war between the Midland and the Great Northern railway companies for the lucrative passenger traffic associated with the
In fact Brindley wanted to take it all the way to Liverpool using an aqueduct over the Runcorn Gap but could not raise the financial backing to do so.
It dates back some 3,500 years to the Bronze Age, and was a ritual stone circle and burial chamber.
Canal Street, Wharf Street, and Mill Lane on the right run back to the river.
The rest have been replaced by the modern back wall of a stone clad Co-op supermarket. The cottages are clearly in a dilapidated condition in this 1950 view, but their loss is surely to be regretted.
We are now back at the junction with Hursley Road where Bournemouth Road becomes Winchester Road.
Back inthe Chess Valley we reach Latimer, a very pretty village with a triangular green and, uphill to the west, Latimer House.
Though ordered to be demolished, Dunster remained a Parliamentarian garrison for five years; then the Luttrells were allowed to buy it back.
Prior to 1582, documents referred to this village as 'Blechingley', meaning 'the ley (or clearing) of the Blaecci people', and its origins probably date back to the 7th or 8th century.
Back in more mundane Kingsbury Road, Station Parade, with its paper-thin symmetry and air of parsimony sets the mercenariness of suburban development before us.

This long and lofty space was originally divided into smaller chapels and areas where lay brothers could worship.At the back of the great columns were screens closing off the side aisles.
Back on the main road, this is the real centre of the modern village; there is a good range of shops and pubs, and the school, Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School, lies behind the fence on
At the back of the great columns were screens closing off the side aisles. A stone screen or pulpitum straddled the nave, surounded by a gallery from which the gospel was sung on festival days.
Do not shout too loud about it, though, as there are many locals who would rather it were back across the border.
The Frith photographer is standing outside the Cathedral and looking back at the Victoria Buildings and its Hotel.
The earthen banks of several protective blast-barriers still pockmark the site. They were no help, sadly, to the three men who died in an explosion here in 1913.
