Caption For Piddinghoe, The Village C1955

This village is in the Ouse valley just north of the town of Newhaven. St John's church is on high ground overlooking the tidal river.

Caption For Abbotsbury, West Street C1960

The view looks north-eastwards from the Ilchester Arms Hotel across to a flagpole and railings (left) in front of 19th-century Abbotsbury School, which was built for the village by the Earl of Ilchester

Caption For Brecon, The Bridge And The Beacons 1899

We go north again to the centre of the National Park and the best-known town in Powys. The Frith photographer must have been impressed, as he took many views of the area.

Caption For Dunnottar, Castle C1900

This impressive and forbidding-looking castle stands to the south of Stonehaven on a rocky headland overlooking the North Sea.

Caption For Anstey, Pack Horse Bridge C1960

This was the original roadway into the village, now reduced in stature to a footpath, as the road now crosses the water to its north. This is a rather romantic monument to the past.

Caption For Thorpe Arnold, St Mary's Church C1955

This small elevated village lies about a mile to the north-east of Melton Mowbray on the A607 Grantham road.

Caption For Boston Spa, High Street 1893

A stagecoach service operated on a daily basis from Leeds and back, and wealthy travellers using the Great North Road would stop over and sample the delights of the pump room.

Caption For Boston Spa, High Street 1893

A stagecoach service operated on a daily basis from Leeds and back, and wealthy travellers using the Great North Road would stop over and sample the delights of the pump room.

Caption For Richmond, Castle And Bridge 1923

When the castle was begun, the border between that part of England firmly under Norman control and those still willing to put up a fight lay just a few miles to the north.

Caption For Lacock, The Village And Church 1904

The north-east chapel is 15th- century, and it has highly-decorated battlements and pinnacles.

Caption For Chesham, Town Bridge 1897

For this view Frith's photographer swung his camera north-east from view 40540 of the church looking across the water meadows. Here the stream widens and was used as a waggon wash.

Caption For Godalming, High Street C1955

Continuing north-east along Portsmouth Road we reach Godalming, a market town since 1300, its centre now by-passed. These timber-framed buildings are fine examples.

Caption For Brean Down, 1918

Closer in, you can look down on Weston Bay and Weston-super-Mare to the north: it is probably better not to look too closely at the holiday sprawl along the road back to Burnham-on-Sea.

Caption For Nunney, The Castle C1960

At the north end of the village is a tall oblong keep set in a neat moat with massive towers at each angle, which was licensed in 1373 for John de la Mare, Sheriff of Somerset.

Caption For Boston, The Docks 1890

In earlier times, war had only affected the soldiers and sailors directly involved and people who happened to live on or near the battlefield, or the route of the marching army.

Caption For Bourne, North Street 1952

Later, Bourne became a market town with a (now largely vanished) castle and a Norman priory founded in 1138, now the parish church.

Caption For Kendal, The Castle 1894

It still commands fine views to the north and south-east. The castle was described as 'ready to drop down with age' by the beginning of the 17th century.

Caption For Bedford, St Paul's Church 1929

After the Hall was demolished in 1904, views opened up of the north side of the church, which is dominated by its tall spire and tower, all Victorian rebuilds of 1868.

Caption For Kingsclere, Market Square C1955

The centre of this picturesque north Hampshire village has changed little since the 1950s, though today there are usually more cars seen in the vicinity of the church.

Caption For Woodmansterne, The Village C1955

Nestled in the rear slopes of the North Downs, the village derives its ancient name from the Saxon word 'wudmeresthorn', meaning 'thornbush by the boundary of the wood', and was mentioned in the Domesday

Caption For Budby, Village C1955

The one on the right, North Farm House, has had its farm buildings converted into the Dukeries Antiques Centre.

Caption For Bolton Le Sands, General View 1898

The village of Bolton-le-Sands sits astride the A6, four miles north of Lancaster.

Caption For Morecambe, The Promenade 1899

This lovely view of the Promenade looks north towards Hest Bank, with the Central Pier in the background.

Caption For Ravensworth, The Castle 1913

Just north of Richmond are the remains of this old Norman castle. Inside the keep, the massive fireplaces needed to keep this rather desolate monument warm can still be seen.
