Orchard Road
We moved from the East End of London in 1955 to Orchard Road. The road had few cars then and we had a nice garden and the railway at the end. Lots of children lived in the road so it was easy to make friends. The Hobbs boys, Jimmy ...Read more

Beer was the birthplace in 1788 of the smuggler Jack Rattenbury, who lived a life of adventure landing untaxed cargoes along much of the Devon coast.
We are on the upper River Medway north of the Ashdown Forest, near the Kent border. The 13th-century church of St Mary is on a knoll in the centre of the village.
This view looks southwards across the Common from Stert, named for a neck of land, which juts into the English Channel and is the southernmost point of both Portland and Dorset.
No expense was spared in the making of the park and its lodge.The Borough coat of arms and its motto,'Arte et Labore', is cut into the stone, along with the name of the park over the entrance arch
In this view, which looks towards Ramsden Square, the sign by the blind (left) proclaims a drug store, while one of the posters on the wall beyond is for Wheatleys Hop Bitters.
This thatched cottage with its little garden stood in Pondhu Road, in the valley bottom to the south west of the town centre.
The majestic sweep of the fertile fields down to the coast is also marked by the workings and spoils of man's need for the stone that is quarried from the mountain on this stretch of the coast.
The original parish church of St Peter & St Paul was built in the 12th century and rebuilt two or three hundred years later.
Magnus Barefoot built a timber fort on St Patrick's Isle between c1098-1103.
The green was at the heart of the old village. The tower of the Norman church of St Cadfan stands in the centre. The church was restored and partly rebuilt in 1882.
A view of the southeast side of Bridge Street. While many of the buildings on the right remain, several were pulled down in the 1980s and their sites now form part of a supermarket car park.
Land behind the Town Hall was used for industry for many years: the Spring Mill buildings and the cupola of Pleck Brass Works are visible to the right.
The Gate was originally one of a pair of cottages built by Samuel Legerton in 1830; the northernmost of the cottages was converted to the public house around 1843.
Royston is a relatively modern town - it is not mentioned in the Domesday Book - which grew up at the crossing of Ermine Street and the Icknield Way; it was not officially recognised until the late 1800s
Though a good picture of a much-missed local landmark, this photograph also gives us a hint of Burnley as an industrial town.
The setting appears to be perfect: St Denys' is situated at the western end of a fine avenue of trees, close to its attractive 18th-century rectory.
The church, mainly of the 14th century, stands within a grassy churchyard, close to the A6 Leicester-Loughborough Road.
Whalley had an abbey once, and that fact distracts from the importance of the church here. The church of St Mary and All Saints has ancient crosses in the churchyard and a thousand years of history.
Note also the new screen on the right for the Lady Chapel.
The success of Wisbech has always depended on its rivers and canals. The five mile-long Wisbech Canal once connected the villages of Outwell and Upwell with the River Nene at Wisbech.
It was built by E J Smith of Cardiff in a vaguely eastern Art Deco style, and the building material was (the then) ultra modern ferro-concrete.
The old Town Hall was erected around 1781 on the site of an earlier town hall. Major Thomas Jarratt was the designer of the building, which opened in 1783.
The Town Hall was designed by Christopher Kempster, who was probably advised by Sir Christopher Wren, as Kempster was one of the masons he used in rebuilding London after the Great Fire of 1666.
At the extreme end of the `ring` is the Ferry Boat Inn. The Ferry Boat claims to be one of the oldest inns in Britain.
