Caption For New Quay, The Harbour 1939

New Quay became an important ship-building settlement from the late 18th century (244 ships were built here between 1779 and 1882), and since it was well protected from south-westerly gales, it was one

Caption For Lyme Regis, The End Of The Cobb C1910

That Meryl Streep moment, as it became after 'The French Lieutenant's Woman' had been filmed here in 1980, with the Outer Breakwater of the Cobb awash in a bursting south-westerly wave.

Caption For Severn River, The Severn Bore 1906

The sudden inward rush of water up the Severn is at its best when backed by a south-westerly wind; then the bore is like the one pictured here.

Caption For Glen Torridon, Beinn Eighe 1890

This wild and rocky landscape in Wester Ross is typical of the Highlands. The looming quartzite peaks of Beinn Eighe are in the background.

Caption For Fleetwood, The King Orry Leaving For The I.O.M C1955

'King Orry IV' drifted from her moorings in a fierce north-westerly storm in January 1976. She had been sold for breaking-up to R Taylor of Bury.

Caption For Lydstep, Cliffs 1890

This is the westerly end of Lydstep Cavern Beach; here we see the aptly named Saddle Back and Saddle Point, with the cave and fissures worn into the vertical strata of limestone.

Caption For Wells, Cathedral West Front C1950

The statues are badly worn by the strong westerly winds (which give the name of 'kill canon corner' to the north-west corner); they were also damaged by the 17th-century iconoclasts, who

Caption For Abbots Bromley, The Annual Horn Dance C1955

The dancers include a maid (Maid Marian), a jester, a man on a hobby-horse, a boy with a bow and arrow and six men wearing antlers.

Caption For Gawsworth, The Village C1960

His name was Samuel 'Maggoty' Johnson, and he was the last professional jester in England. He died in 1773, and there is a lane nearby bearing his name where his grave can be found.

Caption For Billingham, Shopping Centre C1967

The town centre was redeveloped from the late 1950s by Elder Lester & Partners; the Forum opened in 1967.

Caption For Berkeley, The Old House C1955
