This chapter gives a snapshot of north Lincolnshire in the 1950s, as all the views were taken then: our tour takes us next to Tealby, a pretty village at the western foot of The Wolds.

The Esplanade had semi-detached villas and Bath-style terraces for the upper and middle classes, designed by John Thomas.

This view looks along the north side of Market Square past the war memorial into Cambridge Street on the left of the Round House and the High Street to its right.

St Peter's is a building of some antiquity, and this view of the rear of the parish church does not do justice to its clarity of line or the aesthetic appeal of its architecture.

This view, looking north towards the entrance (in the Alton Road), shows several cottages built of chalk, some of which have since been demolished.

The parish of Abbots Ripton lies a few miles north of Huntingdon. At the time of the Dissolution it was held by Ramsey Abbey.

This village is in the Ouse valley just north of the town of Newhaven. St John's church is on high ground overlooking the tidal river.

The view looks north-eastwards from the Ilchester Arms Hotel across to a flagpole and railings (left) in front of 19th-century Abbotsbury School, which was built for the village by the Earl of Ilchester

We go north again to the centre of the National Park and the best-known town in Powys. The Frith photographer must have been impressed, as he took many views of the area.

This impressive and forbidding-looking castle stands to the south of Stonehaven on a rocky headland overlooking the North Sea.

This was the original roadway into the village, now reduced in stature to a footpath, as the road now crosses the water to its north. This is a rather romantic monument to the past.

This small elevated village lies about a mile to the north-east of Melton Mowbray on the A607 Grantham road.

A stagecoach service operated on a daily basis from Leeds and back, and wealthy travellers using the Great North Road would stop over and sample the delights of the pump room.

When the castle was begun, the border between that part of England firmly under Norman control and those still willing to put up a fight lay just a few miles to the north.

The north-east chapel is 15th- century, and it has highly-decorated battlements and pinnacles.

For this view Frith's photographer swung his camera north-east from view 40540 of the church looking across the water meadows. Here the stream widens and was used as a waggon wash.

Continuing north-east along Portsmouth Road we reach Godalming, a market town since 1300, its centre now by-passed. These timber-framed buildings are fine examples.

Closer in, you can look down on Weston Bay and Weston-super-Mare to the north: it is probably better not to look too closely at the holiday sprawl along the road back to Burnham-on-Sea.

At the north end of the village is a tall oblong keep set in a neat moat with massive towers at each angle, which was licensed in 1373 for John de la Mare, Sheriff of Somerset.

In earlier times, war had only affected the soldiers and sailors directly involved and people who happened to live on or near the battlefield, or the route of the marching army.

Later, Bourne became a market town with a (now largely vanished) castle and a Norman priory founded in 1138, now the parish church.

It still commands fine views to the north and south-east. The castle was described as 'ready to drop down with age' by the beginning of the 17th century.

After the Hall was demolished in 1904, views opened up of the north side of the church, which is dominated by its tall spire and tower, all Victorian rebuilds of 1868.
