Stone In The 1950s

I am now 57 years of age, and live in Australia. I was born in Stone, Stafforshire in 1949 and would love to go back and visit. As a child I remember walking along the canal and standing watching as a blacksmith mended a horse's shoe. ...Read more

1960s Shopping In Uxbridge Road, Hatch End

On the left of this view is the pub sign for the "Railway Hotel" - a popular drinking venue for older members of St Anselm's Youth Club and the Hatch End Young Conservatives!  Next door is a garage forecourt ...Read more

The Tithe Barn And Harrow Museum

Moat Farm Park? I find this surprising as its claim to fame is surely the preserved buildings of the Tithe Barn and surroundings. The Barn itself is the site of Harrow Museum and hosts various fund raising fairs, ...Read more

A memory of North Harrow in 1985 by John Howard Norfolk

Caravan Rally

My parents kept our caravan at Overstone - on the far side near the lake. One year, 1953 I think, the National Caravan Rally came to Overstone and the field filled up with hundreds of caravans. I think this photo is the milk queue!

Forge Cottage (Blacksmith's Cottage)

My family and I lived in Forge Cottage (known to us as the Blacksmith's Cottage) from about 1962 to 1964, whereafter we emigrated to Canada. I have fond memories of the cottage and its low ceilings, the Aga in ...Read more

A memory of Easthampstead in 1963 by Susan Cann

Post Office And School

The first building on the left was the old Post Office (owned by Mees). Just to the front of this is a small footpath that leads to my Mum-in-Law's (Janet Halls nee Smith) old school. It was also the village hall. It still has the green tin roof..... noisy when it rains!!!!!

A Dunking

The story of the family dunking.....Once upon time there was a naughty little boy aka POP, and he and his friends decided they fancied the bibles and candles from the local church, they decided to run for it, and he and his mates decided to ...Read more

Old Blokes In White Coats!

Sometimes on the way to the Green we would watch the men walking up and down the Bowling Green. They really took things seriously! The Green was mown to precision and I'm sure the bloke that cut it measured the length of ...Read more

School Maternity Home School

During WW2 the pupils were evacuated and the school turned into a temporary Maternity Home. The Doctor attending the home was only part-time, but always on call. The Doctor lived a few houses away and at night time he hung ...Read more

My Sisters Village

My sister moved from Manchester in 1990 to Keinton as her husband was working in Shepton Mallet. We have been visiting the village at least 3 times a year, Easter, Summer and usually Christmas. Our children say they can ...Read more

Caption For Callington, Fore Street 1904

Less than a decade after photograph No 32343, the focus of attention is the motor bus in the street. In contrast, note the girl and large-wheeled pram on the left.

Caption For Bickleigh, 1930

This view of the riverside was taken from Bickleigh Bridge. The lowering skies are clearly standard English holiday weather; the cameraman is having to fight his eternal battle against bad light.

Caption For Bangor, Main Street 1897

This view, taken from the bottom of Main Street, looks up the hill towards the station. It shows the bustling town, with a carriage and a cart the only wheeled traffic.

Caption For Worcester, Shire Hall And Victoria Institute 1899

The Victoria Institute contains Worcester's museum, art gallery and library and was built as a celebration of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

Caption For Stoke Prior, The Canal C1965

The canal was used to facilitate the transportation of salt all around Britain.

Caption For Helvellyn, Striding Edge 1912

Grains Gill tumbles over a series of cascades beneath Stockley Bridge, near Seathwaite in Borrowdale, with Aaron Crags prominent on Seathwaite Fell in the background.

Caption For Coalbrookdale, Dale Road 1896

As it was never a very prosperous area, there are few early buildings of interest in and around Ironbridge and Coalbrookdale. The timber building here, Rose Cottage, is a rare survival.

Caption For Barry, The Knap C1965

Coloured lamps are strung on wires around the lake as part of the town's illuminations.

Caption For Emery Down, The Church C1960

This final view over Emery Down shows the extent to which the deep woodlands of the New Forest cluster around this ancient settlement. This wildness has survived into the 21st century.

Caption For Brampton, High Street C1955

Rationalisation has seen a good many of them close down.

Caption For Norwich, Cathedral West Front 1922

It floods the interior of the nave with light, filtered through stained glass.

Caption For Ingoldmells, Beacon Restaurant C1965

We are in the village centre on Queensway. The restaurant was closed for the winter here, but it certainly looked neat and tidy and waiting for the rush of summer visitors.

Caption For Horning, A Wherry On The Broads 1902

Here we see a fine example of a Norfolk wherry under sail, but apparently almost becalmed. This is the river Bure, and the church tower in the distance is St Benedict.

Caption For Glen Helen, The Hotel 1893

Glen Helen is situated about two miles north of St John's, and was developed from 1850 onwards by a Mr Marsden who named the glen after his daughter.

Caption For Aylesbury, The Canal 1897

Children are trying their luck at fishing in the Aylesbury Arm of the Grand Junction Canal. Just beyond the bridge is the delightfully named Hills and Partridges Lock.

Caption For Margate, The Beach And Seafront 1927

By the late 1920s, not a bathing machine graces the water's edge in this view of the crowded Margate Sands, looking towards the Harbour with the Pierhead Lighthouse.

Caption For Ipswich, Ancient House 1921

On the corner with St Stephen's Lane stands the Ancient House, a remarkable building which is probably the best surviving example of medieval pargetting - decorative plasterwork - in Britain.

Caption For Harlow, Old Harlow, The George Hotel 1903

The George, built in 1598, was situated at the junction between the High Street, Market Street, and Fore Street, and was the main focal point of the village.

Caption For Haverfordwest, Old Bridge C1965

The lower water level is revealing more of the bridge piers. 'Thomas Butcher' to the right has been redeveloped and the steps are no longer to be seen.

Caption For Great Yarmouth, Britannia Pier 1904

The Britannia Pier is at the northern end of Marine Parade, the main seafront thoroughfare.

Caption For Kings Lynn, The Honest Lawyer Inn 1925

An austere inn, perhaps, but welcoming none the less. The architecture is vaguely Dutch, in line with that of many East Anglian houses, with its double pitch roof.

Caption For Stanwell, The Rising Sun C1965

Children bathe in a brook on a hot day in Stanwell. Perhaps their parents are seeking a different kind of refreshment in the nearby Rising Sun public house.

Caption For Maidenhead, The River And Bridge 1906

This photograph shows the graceful architecture of Maidenhead Bridge, distinguished by its elegant arches, striking stonework and fine balustrade.

Caption For Narberth, Commercial Corner C1955

Ten miles due east of Haverfordwest, Narberth was once a significant commercial centre. A tollgate was erected here but was destroyed during the Rebecca Riots in 1842-3.
