The Old Thatch
Ah, The Old Thatch. I remember it well, for this is where I grew up from the early 1940s until 1956. By today's standards it was grim: no heating, no running water, no flush loo - nothing. Yet it was a wonderful place in which to ...Read more

Another view of Cat Nab, showing very clearly the 'new town' laid out in the mid to late 19th century, largely through the vision and initiative of the Pease family.
A sign on one of the boats advertises sea trips, and the 'Frank and Elizabeth, the 'Sunbeam' and another craft seem to be quite busy.
By 1903, the population stood at around 16,800 and, by 1920, would grow by another 1,000 or so.
Wherries carried both passengers and freight all around the rivers and broads of Norfolk. There are several preserved examples today, which seem like stately ladies in a world of modernity and rush.
Despite their appearance, both the timber buildings shown here date from the early 1900s.
Both public house and petrol station prospered with the increasing volume of traffic on a road that the Edwardian topographer Sir Frederick Treves had described as 'a delightful walk'.
The Terrace, another Georgian promenade, offers a spectacular panorama of the town.
Bundles of Norfolk reed are stacked on both banks of this shallow backwater. The growing of reeds provides one of the principal industries of the broads area.
Both clerical gentlemen led the local smuggling gangs, hiding the contraband in the old vicarage - now a beautiful thatched house called Vicars Mead.
Until the 1950s, Puddletown was officially 'Piddletown', but - unlike the villages further up the river valley - the authorities changed this to the more acceptable Puddletown.
There is another man- made weir above the rocks in the Thrutch. Most of the dell is much more densely wooded today.
Originally it was a timber stronghold of the motte and bailey, and belonged to the de Turberville family. When rebuilt in stone it featured both a shell keep and a shell gatehouse.
Deacon's now occupy both floors of their building. There has been extensive redevelopment along Stephenson Place, and the tram lines are long gone.
Cleckheaton is another former textile town, five miles south of Bradford, which has had to find a new role during the late 20th century.
There is another explanation of Mullion's name - it was at one time called Porth Mellin, 'the cove of the mill', and a mill existed here until the 19th century.
Although the Exe is a natural watercourse, it is also used as a conduit to bring water to both Tiverton and Exeter.
These small steamers were a feature of both the Scarborough and Bridlington holiday trade; they survived until they were replaced by screw vessels in the 1930s.
Hanley has two famous sons: the author Arnold Bennett and the aircraft designer Reginald Mitchell were both born in the town.
Another view of Harrison Stickle, highest of the Langdale Pikes, this time from the valley at the bridge near the Dungeon Ghyll Hotel, a favourite haunt of walkers and climbers.
Another view of the picturesque harbour with its 14th-century stone quay. In bygone years the Clovelly fleet put to sea in pursuit of much-prized herring.
In the days when trading wherries plied their way up and down the rivers, transporting goods from the sea ports, or from one town to another, Beccles was a thriving port.
Another very evocative view, taken in a world about to be shaken by the First World War.
Another shot of Chatsworth's beautiful French Gardens, this time showing the Egyptian statue of Sekhmet (left), which is now in the house in the Chapel Passage, and 1st Duke's greenhouse, the Camellia
Cyclists wobble and weave, one hanging on to the shoulder of another (centre), as a charabanc bound for the attraction of the Fairy Glen chugs past.
