There is not a bare head to be seen in this view, which looks towards the old grandstand - new the year this picture was taken.
A bare-footed fisherman sits in his boat at low water. The board showing the name 'Dewdrop' at the stern suggests that he also hired it out.
In 1758 the old bridge was restricted to pedestrians and horses by a bar and lamp directing wagons and coaches behind the railings into the ford.
At that time the group of buildings was a smallholding with a bar. To the far right there was a barn, and the bar was situated to the right of the central farmhouse.
Baron Rothschild transformed a bare hilltop near Aylesbury into a wooded park, crowned with a spectacular French-style chateau. In the valley he built Waddesdon, an estate village.
The village had its own cinema, the Palace, the white building with the semi-circular pediment; it is now a bar and snooker hall.
It was a bare-knuckle fight between Tom Sayer, from England, and John Heenan, the American. After 42 rounds, it was declared a draw.
Lodge Hill was then a bare hill, but the Baron imported vast numbers of mature trees to give it its present wooded character; teams of horses toiled from far and wide to haul the trees to their destination
After being partially destroyed by fire, it became a bedding shop - with a flat roof!

In later years the premises became Beatties toyshop, and it is now a bar/restaurant, the Bedroom.
On the beach there was a children's boating pool, and the Pier had a bar and an amusement palace on it. The Pier was built to accommodate the crowds, and was really two piers next to each other.
The paddler pulling away might be the 'Ivanhoe', shortly after her sale to the Caledonian Steam Packet Co, but before her paddle-boxes were painted white and a bar installed.
