Bude In The 1950s.

I remember the primary school and the little banks behind it which seemed huge to us then! We used to go mussel picking on the rocks and walk along the downs with buttercups and daisies, sadly now much reduced due to soil erosion. The ...Read more

While I was at Durham University I attended St. Mary's College, on the opposite side of the River Wear from the City centre, and every day I had to walk across this bridge over the river, which was strictly a footbridge. The only ...Read more

University Days

This was one of the streets I walked along when going to the lecture rooms on Palace Green. On the left is No.1, the large house belonging to St.John's Theological College, and on the right is the arched entrance to the Cathedral close.

Childhood In The 1950s

Life for a child in the village of Worle in the 1950s was exciting, parochial and safe. Our parents did not lose sleep over thoughts of us being molested. Children were more likely to be in danger from their own recklessness than ...Read more

1956 Onwards

Jennifer and I started our married life in South Wales in a little village called Caio, at that time all Welsh speaking. You may have gathered from my writings I was recalled back into the army for the campaign that was called The Suez ...Read more

Caption For Old Newton, School C1955

This was an era when every village had its school - now of course, much consolidation has taken place.

Caption For Maidenhead, The River And Bridge 1906

This photograph shows the graceful architecture of Maidenhead Bridge, distinguished by its elegant arches, striking stonework and fine balustrade.

Caption For Walsall, The New Art Gallery 2005

Leather working still goes on in the town but on a much smaller scale. Workshops are hidden behind the main streets and often people don't even know they are there.

Caption For Warwick, East Gate And Jury Street 1892

In that year much of the town centre was destroyed by fire.

Caption For Ryhope, The Village C1960

In 1960 Ryhope was still very much a pit village, with its own colliery. In 1967 Ryhope, along with Silksworth, East Herrington, South Hylton, and Castletown, was incorporated into Sunderland.

Caption For Poole, Parkstone, Bank Corner 1904

The roads around Parkstone are much busier these days, encouraging journeys on foot or using public transport.

Caption For Bangor, Bowman's Terrace 1897

Taken nearer to the town, this view shows the strong Scottish influence in much of Bangor's architecture. Two girls in pinafores watch the passers-by from the bench in the foreground.

Caption For Stamford Bridge, The Bridges C1960

The narrow arched bridge was built in 1727 and stands above the battleground. The later bridge now carries the railway.

Caption For Bakewell, Bridge 1894

The five-arch bridge dates from the 13th century, although it has been widened and improved down the years.

Caption For Rottingdean, The Windmill C1965

It is a picturesque and much-photographed mill which is now conserved as a landmark.

Caption For Gloucester, London Road 1891

The photographer earns much attention from the locals.

Caption For Newbury, Bartholomew Street C1965

This general view shows the street much as it is today - distinguished by its striking Georgian buildings.

Caption For Newbury, Bartholomew Street C1965

This general view shows the street much as it is today - distinguished by its striking Georgian buildings.

Caption For Whitney, The Church Interior C1950

The interior of St Peter and St Paul's church is much the same, although sadly, in my opinion, the 'God Is Love' script has been painted out. Notice, also, the beautifully carved pulpit.

Caption For Chieveley, The Manor And Church C1965

In the roof is one tie- beam on arched braces with traceried spandrels, probably also supporting the lenten veil. Side walls have lancets.

Caption For Penrith, King Street C1960

We are looking down Penrith's main shopping street.The scene has not changed much since Victorian days, except for the fact that the horses have by now disappeared and have been replaced by motor vehicles

Caption For Sketty, St Paul's Church 1910

Sketty was once very much in the countryside, but Swansea's urban sprawl has long since subsumed it.

Caption For Crawley, High Street And George Hotel 1905

However, much else in this view has gone.

Caption For Bakewell, Church 1923

Note that both road and footpath surfaces leave much to be desired.

Caption For Dartford, Holy Trinity Church 1902

There is much more activity, with horse- drawn carriages and children playing in the wide road.

Caption For Norwich, St Michael At Thorne Church, Ber Street 1891

St Michael's at Thorn was destroyed by bombs, so this is very much an archive photograph.

Caption For Llanelli, Town Hall Square 1957

Llanelli is still very much alive, and Town Hall Square is laid out in a most symmetrical and pleasing manner. It possesses a rather grand neo-Jacobean Town Hall with a highly decorative clock tower.

Caption For Reading, Queen Victoria Street 1910

A walking tour of its main streets and thoroughfares reveals much of architectural interest - particularly in the vicinity of Queen Victoria Street.

Caption For Monsal Dale, The Viaduct 1914

This stately five-arched structure now carries the Monsal Trail; and despite John Ruskins outbursts when it was built, it is now a protected structure.
