Caption For Heysham, The Village 1895

At the time, tourism would support the village in the summer, and fishing in the winter months. We can see that the footpath is a well-worn one, so it must have been popular with visitors.

Caption For Kempston, All Saints' Church C1955

In the manner of a number of older village churches, All Saints stands clear of the original village and incomers find this rather puzzling, that is until the river floods in winter.

Caption For Saltwood, The Castle 1890

It was from here that four knights set off one winter evening in 1170 for Canterbury to murder Thomas Becket.

Caption For Lancaster, Church Street 1896

As the town was important, its Charter allowed four of these Fair Days—3 April, 1 May, 5 July and 10 October, which was also the Winter Fair and Hiring Day.

Caption For West Hanney, Memorial Corner C1955

To the left is Winter Lane with the 17th-century Castle Acre on the corner, built in stone with stone roof slates.

The town also has winter gardens, a swimming pool, dancing, and golf, to name only a few of the attractions in this pleasant resort.

Caption For Kenilworth, The Castle Hill C1960

During the winter months the lamplighter would turn on the lamps using a long pole. One end of the pole was pushed through a little window in the lamp and hooked onto the mantle chain.

Caption For Lancaster, The Canal 1918

Note the white paint on the bridge archway to make it stand out on dark winter mornings or in twilight.

Caption For Rhyl, The Parade 1900

The two-mile-long parade overlooks the sandy beach; at the west end an extensive area was laid out as winter gardens.

Caption For Ilkley, The Tarn 1923

During the winter months, the tarn occasionally freezes, and this must have delighted the Victorian ice-skaters. In 74476 we are above the Tarn looking out over the Wharfe Valley.

Caption For Bedford, On The Ouse 1897

Its banks are laid out for parks and walks; they are very popular for walking, and are a-throng on a sunny summer or winter weekend.

The precursor of Rhyl's amusement arcades, it advertised '... theatre, ballroom, restaurant, waxworks, winter garden, underground canal with gondolas, arcade of shops, zoo, sideshows, all provided on a

Caption For Ormesby, Broads, Near Tea Rooms C1935

Thick reed beds glow golden in winter sunshine, a magical sight, with blue sky reflected in the water. The Eels Foot Inn now dispenses refreshments to visitors after their row on the broad.

Caption For Ellington, Village 1906

However, the winter brought difficulties. Because the heavy clay soil prevents drainage, the grass tracks quickly turned into quagmires and became impassable to motor vehicles.

Caption For Blackburn, Market 1894

It was the Market Square that hosted the Blackburn Fair, which was held by Charter every Easter Monday, and then on 11 and 12 May, and also the Winter Fair every 17 October.

Caption For Sheffield, High Street C1960

The Heart of the City scheme has seen the opening of the Millennium Galleries and the Winter Garden and the re-designing of the Peace Gardens.

Caption For Kings Lynn, Red Mount 1898

This winter view of the chapel makes it look like a prison rather than the fascinating building it is. Robert Corraunce built it on instructions from the prior of Lynn.
