St Mawes lies on a sheltered branch off Falmouth harbour. Here we see the as yet undeveloped village and waterfront from the pier.
On the extreme right is the local branch of the shoe chain Freeman Hardy & Willis, with F W Woolworths next door.
In the 1960s it was home to a branch of the Runcorn and Widnes Industrial Co-Operative Society.
It now houses a branch of Boots, the chemists, and all the plaster on the front façade has been recently removed revealing a beautiful jettied timber building.
On this side of town the Midland operated a short goods branch to Brampton.
It was served by a branch line of the Highland Railway from Fodderty Junction. Are these girls laundresses at one of the hotels?
The country branch of the Queen Alexandra Nursing Home for Children with Hip Disease was at East Clandon.
On the left is Quay Station, built in 1874 for the Ilfracombe branch; it was demolished in 1922 when Town Station was built on the other side of the Taw.
The huge 24-branch brass chandelier was donated by the earl of Godolphin during rebuilding.
On the far side is the modern brick branch of the Midland Bank, while on the immediate right are the Post Office, chemists and opticians.
A branch of Tesco Metro now occupies the building. The best clue to recognising the building today is to look for the two flagpoles. Other redevelopment in the High Street has also taken place.
Town Lock is one of two mechanised locks; the other is Newark Nether Lock at the northern end of the branch.
There was a Co-op branch in this street, and Mainwaring`s (extreme left) was an important store here.
George Oliver`s shoe shop (left) was one of several Cornish branches in the early 20th century; it still exists in a modernised form as Messrs Timpson.
A branch of Barclays Bank lies further down the street on the corner.
On the right, a road branches off to Wheathampstead. Codicote had a number of interesting charities.
Jax, a cheerful low-price dress shop for younger customers, replaced the more staid Co-op; Millett's, which began by selling army surplus goods, branched into camping equipment and tough outdoor clothes
Wainwright the chemist's (right) is an old Eastleigh firm that until recently survived in the centre of the town, but this branch has become a showroom for heating appliances.
In the autumn, the overhanging branches form a seemingly never-ending tunnel of gold as the traveller journeys onward.
Note the tobacconist on the left advertising Players No 3 and the canisters outside Stephen & Fred Green on the right (now a menswear shop and a branch of OXFAM).
This impressive building was the Parkstone branch of the Wiltshire and Dorset Bank. The roads around Parkstone are much busier these days, encouraging journeys on foot or using public transport.
The four-and-a-half mile St Erth to St Ives branch line (visible on the left) saw its first train in 1877.
A branch of the famed family lived nearby for over 400 years from 1490; round-the-world yachtsman Sir Francis Chichester was one member.
In the centre background, the traditional building of Lloyds Bank can be seen, and on the extreme left is a branch of Fifty Shilling Tailors.
