Caption For Ripon, The Minster And The Bridge C1885

In this view of the stone-walled canal basin we see the cathedral rising over the roofs, and the old arched bridge.

Caption For Portland, Chesil Beach 1890

Its stones tend to be much larger at one end than the other. John Meade Faulkner immortalised the area in his famous smuggling novel 'Moonfleet'.

Caption For Rothwell, Blue Bell Inn C1965

The road here is much busier today.

Caption For Branston, Branston Hall Hospital C1965

The round turret by the side of the main entrance with its ogee cap looks very much like a windmill tower.

Caption For Conisbrough, The Church 1895

Though St Peter's dates from Saxon times, it is believed that Hamelin Plantaganet might have also have rebuilt the church, as much of the stonework is 12th-century.

Caption For Portland, Chesil Beach 1890

Its stones tend to be much larger at one end than the other. John Meade Faulkner immortalised the area in his famous smuggling novel 'Moonfleet'.

Caption For Penrith, Ennerdale From Green Gable 1889

Much of this lovely valley is now cloaked under a blanket of conifers, as are so many of the Lake District dales.

Caption For Daventry, High Street C1955

Rodhouse's, a milliner's and draper's (extreme right), are still remembered with much affection in the town by the many ladies who bought their hats and bonnets there, made by the Misses

Caption For Fleet, Elvetham Road 1904

The lack of other vehicles meant that it probably didn't matter too much, but the driver of the horse and trap is apparently unaware of the 'keep left' rule of the road.

Caption For Llansamlet, Heol Las 1938

Although the area developed rapidly in the 19th century (the population was 3,375 in 1841 and increased to 9,721 in 1891), it has been a settlement for much longer.

Caption For West Huntspill, High Road C1960

The Globe Hotel (right) is now much extended, and has been renamed the Scarlet Pimpernel.

Caption For Dorridge, The Village C1965

Taken from Station Approach, looking towards the village centre, this view is much the same today.

Caption For Ludlow, Corve Street 1910

Beyond the wall there would have been more room to spread out, and so immediately the road becomes much wider.

Caption For Eastbourne, The Lansdowne Private Hotel C1955

The rendered range with its straight parapet is in marked contrast to the much more ornate Grand Hotel to its left.

Caption For Eastleigh, North Stoneham Church C1955

Much of the town dates from between 1890 and 1939, and many of its residents were employed by the railway.

Caption For Blaxhall, The Youth Hostel C1960

He did much of his early oral history recording in the village; this formed the basis of many books, including 'Ask the Fellows who Cut the Hay' in 1956.

Caption For Stourbridge, The Mitre Inn C1960

Today the grass and beds full of flowers have been replaced by paving stones and beds with bushes planted in them instead - all very much easier to maintain.

Caption For Winchester, High Street 1928

Apart from the introduction of a pedestrianisation scheme and some new shop fronts, it remains much the same today.

Caption For Branston, The Church C1955

The village lost its medieval church to bombs in World War II and has expanded much since the War, partly due to Lincoln’s proximity and partly to the RAF.

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 Cambridge, St Catharine's College 1890

Sixty-five years on from photograph No 26547, and not very much has changed, save for the more abundant foliage, and Trumpington Street now echoing to the sound of cars!

Caption For Worcester, The Junction Of Rivers Teme And Severn 1906

The Battle of Powick Bridge took place nearby in 1642 and, more importantly, much of the action of the Battle of Worcester in 1651 took place on and around this site.

Caption For Worcester, The Cathedral, Rising From The Dead 1907

The Dean's chapel in the south quire transept has a 13th-century frieze of carvings in the spandrels of the arcading (that is, between the tops of the adjoining arches).

Caption For Dent, Main Street 1924

The cobbled Main Street, with The Sun Inn at the top, remains very much the same today.
