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!!!!!

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

Dads First Cattle

My dad had a yard here before the houses were built back in the 40s. He bought his first cows and used to milk them in a barn there. I can remember as a small child being in the barn with mum and dad when an aeroplane crashed ...Read more

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.

Caption For Halstock, C1960

It is a land of woods, pleasant meadows, winding footpaths and quiet-flowing streams.

Caption For Lymington, High Street C1955

Lymington's parish church at the western end of the High Street, with its prominent cupola and weather vane, was originally built in 1250, though it has many later restorations and additions.

Caption For Scarborough, The Harbour C1955

The MV 'Coronia' - famed for its part in the 'Little Ships' rescue of the British Expeditionary Force from Dunkirk in 1940 - returns to port.

Caption For Kidderminster, Peckett Rock, Habberley Valley C1960

Habberley Valley, on the outskirts of town, is popular with locals and tourists alike.

Caption For Ipswich, Buttermarket 1893

Here, on the corner with St Stephens Lane, stands the Ancient House.

Caption For Frimley Green, Old Windmill 1906

It was converted into a house in 1914, and now forms part of large private country house.

Caption For Newquay, The Sands And The Island 1907

The suspension bridge across to a house on the Island is still a feature of Newquay's Towan Beach. Note the bathing machines down by the water's edge on the extreme left.

Caption For Felixstowe, Children's Rides 1907

At this time, seaside entertainment at Felixstowe had not progressed to the garishly commercialised pursuits of today.

Caption For Knaresborough, The Old Chemist Shop 1914

Until 1840 some of this work was done in a large dog-powered pestle and mortar.

Caption For Dartford, Crown And Anchor Inn C1955

This view of the Crown & Anchor shows Dartford's narrow streets. The Crown is paying homage to the town's celebrated rebel, Wat Tyler, who was born here in the 14th century.

Caption For Norwich, Cathedral West Front 1922

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

Caption For Grimsby, Fish Pontoon 1906

Here, the local fish merchants wait alongside creels of freshly landed cod to start bidding for the best fish.

Here, the local fish merchants wait alongside creels of freshly landed cod to start bidding for the best fish.

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.
