Caption For Ewell, High Street 1924

This view, showing the centre of Ewell village, was taken looking north towards the Horse Pond and Spring Corner, and includes several splendid examples of the motor vehicles of the period.

To the south-east of mediaeval Finchley, the High Road drops down from the North Circular Road between an almost standard series of parade shops built around the turn of the century, and past the Rex Cinema

Caption For Hatch End, The Broadway C1960

The village is on the north-west edge of Pinner Park, itself a 14th-century deer park owned by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Caption For Hampstead Norreys, Church Street C1950

To the north of Newbury, on the edge of the downs, lies Hampstead Norris, surrounded by hills and woodland.

Caption For Leek, Market Place C1955

Tourism was given a boost in the 1840s when the North Staffordshire Railway opened its line through the Churnet Valley.

Caption For Wetherby, North Street 1909

Once an important coaching town on the Great North Road, Wetherby went into decline for a number of years as long-distance stagecoach travel lost out to the railways.

Caption For Blackpool, The Flying Machine 1906

Both are large; the north one is the more select, and the south more popular – just a penny pier where dancing goes on all day in the summer.

Caption For Horning, The Queen Of The Broads 1934

A woman stands precariously on the deck of an early motor launch, but neither she nor the child is wearing a life jacket. Notice the corrugated iron boathouse on the right.

Caption For Clifford, Village 1897

This village is just one mile from Boston Spa and even less from the Great North Road.

Caption For Bakewell, Old Packhorse Bridge C1955

North of Bakewell, an ancient packhorse bridge crosses the water. For centuries, lines of horses would lumber over this bridge weighed down with freight. Often, lead would be the main load.

Caption For Wargrave, The Church 1890

It has polygonal buttresses and a re-set Norman north doorway with one order of colonnettes and zig-zag moulding, which had probably been moved.

Caption For Epping, High Street 1921

A view looking north along the High Street.

Caption For Cardiff, Kingsway C1960

This is the main automotive route north from the city centre yet pedestrians appear happy to saunter UP the road rather than across it!

Caption For Sunderland, The Bridges 1900

Just beyond is the North Eastern Railway's bridge over the Wear.

Caption For Bristol, The View From The Granary 1901

On 24 June 1497 they reached the mainland of North America.

Caption For Uppingham, School Chapel C1965

Between 1964 and 1965 the north side of the chapel was hidden by a modern extension with an ugly brick gable. The new Owen Window is, however, more praiseworthy.

Caption For Corby, Forest Gate Road C1965

Taken from Coronation Park, this view looks north, away from the town centre.

Caption For Cromer, West Promenade C1955

The north winds have taken their toll and bent the lamp-posts which illuminate this slope during the evening.

Caption For Corfe Mullen, C1960

The view is from Lockyers School looking down Blandford Road North.

Caption For East Meon, Church Street C1965

Looking north to the church a sense of nostalgia is created by the old style 'T' junction road sign.

Caption For Salfords, The Prince Albert C1965

The Prince Albert stands further south on Horley Road, actually in South Earlsfield rather than Salfords, and north of the junction of Horley Road with Woodhatch Road.
