Happy Days In Latimer
It was only two years or so, from 1959-61, aged 6-8, but it still seems as if the happiest period of my childhood in Latimer was one long, endless, glorious summer. My dad was in the army, in the King's Own Scottish Borderers, ...Read more

The 12th-century bridge, with later additions, is a continuation of the precinct wall linking Eastgate Street with the Vinefields.
Other than that, this view of Quayside from the road bridge has changed little. Even the tall tree by the roadside is still there.
The bridge has a total length of 1,352ft, while the distance between the piers is 702ft.
There are boats of every description on this busy part of the river.
There are two dates on the keystone: the bridge of 1867 collapsed and was replaced by another in 1869.
There are roads along each bank and houses face the river, giving it a slightly Dutch feel. Indeed, there are some fine Georgian houses, particularly on the east side near the good parish church.
This view, taken from the opposite direction to L255042, above, shows the old narrow bridge more clearly.

The only real change to this scene is that now there are no cars - the whole of Bridge Street up to Cathedral Square has been closed to traffic and paved over.
We are near the long stone road bridge to Houghton, built in 1875 and crossing the tidal River Arun. Vinson's was a popular riverside tea rooms and garden. There is still a tea garden on the site.
The bridge itself fell into disrepair; in 1931 it was closed to vehicular traffic, although people could continue to walk across it if they paid their penny.
A little further downstream, just through the railway bridge, the view down river from the Staines bank has changed; now there is extensive housing development on both banks, much fortunately still hidden
The bridge left of centre and above the amusement arcade is over the narrow canal lock which gives access to Stourport Basin and the excellent collection of buildings there.
A small caravan site and the Cartford Hotel flank the approach to the Cartford toll bridge, which was built across the Wyre in 1831.
We are looking towards Ouse Bridge with South Esplanade on the right.The view has remained virtually the same, except for the difference in the river traffic and a change of use for some of the

This side of Bridge Street in the 1880s and 90s could quite easily have been renamed Ironmongers Row.
Five years after the end of the Second World War, there was still much evidence of the severe bombing around the cathedral.
In 1968, when work was underway on a new Devon Bridge, timber piles and some stonework were discovered on the river bed.
In the early years of the 19th century, there were only 93 houses in the town.
Although fifty years have passed the centre of Coulsdon is easily recognisable, although the forthcoming replacement of the Red Lion will dramatically alter appearances.
Looking from Cirencester Road into High Street This photograph, taken from near the High Bridge over the River Thames, shows the entrance to Cricklade from the north.
The bridge was built to designs by Alexander Galloway, Rector of Kinkell, started in 1521 and widened by John Smith, 1840. The upstream facings were removed and replaced on the widened structure.
Today Marple Bridge is the most delightfully pretty little village.
