This handsome terrace of Victorian houses, built in distinctive white 'Pease' brick overlook the Coronation Park.
The mill was a Lincolnshire-style brick tower with an onion-shaped cap. It had five patent shuttered sails, as is indicated by the five-way cross on the front of the windshaft, and a fantail.
Sitting in the delightful Kennet valley a couple of miles east of Marlborough is Mildenhall - known locally as 'Minal'.
Being so close to the English border, indeed partly on the border, this town was and is the natural entry point into Wales for travellers and tourists.
The beach is an area of outstanding natural beauty, and the dunes form a National Nature Reserve.
The Stiffkey Anti-Aircraft training camp was erected as a satellite to the larger AA camp at Weybourne in the late 1930s.
The church of St Peter, in North Street, has a superb Norman doorway, possibly the best in the county (so the experts say), and the church has further Norman architecture inside.

This massive medieval structure, formed of flint and ruddy Dutch bricks, squats close by the river, near Bishop Bridge.
The Clayton Windmills were built in the 19th century. Jack, on the left, is a large brick-built tower mill which was worked until the early part of this century.
A No 82 bus stands outside the Victorian red brick Town Hall. Thame became a market town during the 13th century, and its importance as a commercial centre is still evident today.
