It lies to the south of Carshalton Road, and east of the Congregational Church.

Caption For Maidenhead, View Across The River 1899

Ray Mead Road passes between the gardens, which partly survive, and Bridge House. Sadly Bridge House is no more: a Texaco garage does not seem an equitable exchange in townscape terms.

The white-sleeved policeman is on point duty at what was once the main Durham to Sunderland road; a by-pass has made the necessity for these duties long redundant.

This section of Linthorpe Road has changed mainly in the shop owners. Very few remain the same, although Halfords (right) only moved in recent times.

Caption For Lymington, High Street C1955

Two AA patrolmen and a motorcycle sidecar combination can be seen across the road.

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.

The house on the bend is now Derrick's Tea Rooms and Restaurant, but the cottages on the right went for road widening.

Large villas in gardens lined the road; it was one of Bedford's most select areas, and was named after Robert de Parys, who had founded St John's Hospital in the late 12th century.
