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 Forever

What a delight to find this site. It reminded me of so much. My grandparents did a moonlight flit from Bethnel Green, walking to Tooting with four boys, one girl and a pram carrying Gran's pride and joy, a mangle. Three weeks ...Read more

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.

Thursday  Market Bus Trips From Bradwall

In this picture one can see the town hall in the background and next to it now is Price City (2008), prior to that the Co-op. When I was a child this building used to be the Hungerford Cafe. I used to look ...Read more

Caption For Marcham, The Church C1965

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.

Caption For Aysgarth, The Village 1908

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.

Caption For Durham, No 1 South Bailey 1923

The entrance to St Chad's is the arched opening on the right.

Caption For Hanmer, Village C1955

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.

Caption For Lytham, Ashton Gardens Bowling Green 1921

Flowerbeds, paths, rockeries, a waterfall, and a random stone arched bridge all enhanced the gardens further. The bowling green was an instant success.

Caption For Godmersham, The Church 1909

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.

Caption For Eamont Bridge, 1893

Eamont Bridge, just south of Penrith on the A6, takes its name from this splendid three-arched bridge across the River Eamont.

Caption For Woolpit, The Post Office C1960

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'.

Caption For Bury St Edmunds, The Abbey Gateway 1898

The arches on the front had statues in them, which were destroyed after 1539.

Caption For London, London Bridge C1900

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.

Caption For Garstang, Six Arches C1960

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.

Caption For Hornby, The War Memorial C1965

A priest and historian, amongst his many works was a much-acclaimed eight-volume 'History of England'.

Caption For East Worldham, The Church 1907

It appears that it had an apse, which has now gone, and so has the chancel arch. The font and fittings have been replaced.

Caption For Leeds, The Town Hall 1894

When Leeds town hall was opened by Queen Victoria, the streets were lined with palm trees and triumphal arches.

Caption For Reading, Bridge 1924

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.

Caption For Sutton, High Street C1955

The first floor windows are arched and decorated with different coloured bricks, a style known somewhat grandiosely as 'Constructional Polychromy'.

Caption For Aldeburgh, Old Market Square 1929

His poem about the embittered fisherman Peter Grimes inspired an opera by a much later and better known resident, Benjamin Britten.

Caption For London, Tower Bridge 1910

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.

Caption For London, St Paul's C1890

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.

Caption For Barnstaple, Bridge 1890

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.

Caption For Lincoln, High Street 1923

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

Caption For London, St Paul's C1890

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.

Caption For Bury St Edmunds, Norman Tower C1955

Much of the Abbey would have been designed with arches, openings and decorations similar to those that survive on the Norman Tower.
