As a child brought up in Yorkshire, we spent holidays visiting family across the Pennines; mother's family in Liverpool and father's in Runcorn. Although he had done well, now a country doctor, father always seemed to think he was ...Read more
A memory of Runcorn by
Trams, Baths, Cinemas...
My parents had a shop in Balsall Heath Road not far from Cannon Hill Park - there was a murder committed there around that time. I used to catch the tram to town and in Lewis's basement you could get crabs' legs loaded with ...Read more

Town Hall Roundabout
Living in Watford from the early 1950's, I well remember the Town Hall roundabout before they moved it. Can't recollect whether it was nearer or further away. I can recollect, not far from a pub called the OBH, or almost opposite ...Read more

Tooting Smells Like Home ........1970's 80's

Tivoli Picture House
I remember my Uncle Keith taking me to Saturday morning pictures at the Tivoli. I used to have a 'birthday' every 3 weeks so we would get the free sweets they gave away on your birthday. Great times. I miss him so much.

Threeways & Churt Post Office
To the left of the little girls in the photograph of Churt Post Office there is a large house that was called Threeways in the 50's and 60's, perhaps it was always called this, I do not know. After WWII my parents, Norman ...Read more

All Saints' Parish Church was rebuilt in 1837 by William Fisher from Oxford, who kept the plain 13th-century west tower and reused several windows, doorways and arches.
Lying about ten miles east of Hawes, Aysgarth is famous for a series of waterfalls on the River Ure, the upper of which can still be viewed from a 16th-century single-arch bridge.
The entrance to St Chad's is the arched opening on the right.
A number of late medieval timber-framed thatched cottages remain, such as the one shown here; Magpie Cottage was, and is, a much photographed symbol of the village.
Flowerbeds, paths, rockeries, a waterfall, and a random stone arched bridge all enhanced the gardens further. The bowling green was an instant success.
This neat church is basically Norman, and was so badly neglected during early Victorian times and was in such a poor state of repair that it was heavily restored in 1865.
Eamont Bridge, just south of Penrith on the A6, takes its name from this splendid three-arched bridge across the River Eamont.
Behind the tree is the arched entrance to the stable yard of the former Swan Inn, which still has a painted sign 'Ring for Ostler'.
The arches on the front had statues in them, which were destroyed after 1539.
This five-arched granite structure was constructed in 1827 from the designs of John Rennie. Its excessive cost was once the talk of the city.
Built around 1840 to carry the London and North Western railway line north through Lancashire, this splendid six-arch bridge strides across the River Wyre just below Scorton Lakes.
A priest and historian, amongst his many works was a much-acclaimed eight-volume 'History of England'.
It appears that it had an apse, which has now gone, and so has the chancel arch. The font and fittings have been replaced.
When Leeds town hall was opened by Queen Victoria, the streets were lined with palm trees and triumphal arches.
Reading Bridge is an elegant reinforced concrete one, with a single main span and Brunel-like arches on each bank. Opened in 1923, it is an examplar of what can be done in the material.
The first floor windows are arched and decorated with different coloured bricks, a style known somewhat grandiosely as 'Constructional Polychromy'.
His poem about the embittered fisherman Peter Grimes inspired an opera by a much later and better known resident, Benjamin Britten.
Mock Gothic turrets were added, a profusion of sharply arched windows and much other sham detailing. To many the stupendous structure had the look of an ornate medieval castle.
In the form of a cross, it is built in the Corinthian style, and surmounted by the giant dome which rises on arches over the centre.
With sixteen stone arches, much of the original fabric survives after a widening in 1796.
The bridge is remarkable too, and long, with seventeen arches, three of them medieval, three of 1809 and the rest of 1751.
This view shows the ornate cast-iron balcony of the Saracen's Head Hotel, now shops, and the tower of St Peter at Arches beyond Stone Bow, built in 1720, demolished in 1933 and largely rebuilt in Lamb
In the form of a cross, it is built in the Corinthian style, and surmounted by the giant dome which rises on arches over the centre.
