School

I remember growing up in Elgin (Bishopmill). All my family have passed on now, but I still visit as often as I can, each time I go there I feel a bolt of pride as I walk down the High Street, happy days.

A memory of Elgin in 1975 by Hamish Innes

The Cross Inn Pub

My uncle Mr. Fred Wilson was for many years the landlord of The Cross Inn which can be partially seen at the top of the picture. His Alsatian Rinti used to lay down in front of the stocks and stop the traffic.

Behind the coastline are beautiful gardens and walks to attractive spots in the locality, such as Bembridge Down and the Culver Cliffs.

Caption For Lymington, The High Street From The Church 1958

A splendid view down the High Street from the church tower in those halcyon days when there were fewer cars on the road - and when parking a motor vehicle presented few problems.

Here we see the well- kept gardens which were situated just below the Promenade and, behind them, the cliff lift taking people down to the sea front.

We have our backs to the Red Lion, and are looking down the A257 Sandwich and Deal road, with Lloyds Bank clearly visible on the right.

Is this family smiling for the camera, or have they noticed that little Johnny, head down and pedalling like mad, is on a collision course with our man from Frith?

Caption For Buckden, Offord Road C1960

The road leads down to the River Ouse and Buckden Mills.

Caption For Northwich, Bull Ring 1903

Within a few years the Bull Ring became one of those places where pedestrians took their lives in their hands, having to dodge scores of ICI workers as they freewheeled four, five, even six abreast down

Caption For Bude, The Town 1929

With its shallow sandy bays, broad grassy downs, civic gardens, and terraces of unpretentious lodging houses, Bude is almost completely an Edwardian construction.
