This photograph shows a mixed bag of buildings, many of which have since come down in the course of development.
Part of the village is clustered around the top of a ravine; notice the steep flight of steps in the lower foreground dropping away down toward the sea.
Only the Priory Church and Gatehouse remain; the rest of the buildings were taken down in the aftermath of Henry VIII's Dissolution.
The present horse on this site dates from 1778 and was the first of several figures cut in the chalk downs of Wiltshire during the next half-century.
Back in the Market Place, the photographer looks south down the High Street. Cook's on the corner is still a newsagent and stationer, Goodnews.
Pandering to the needs of motorists, the first Railway Inn was pulled down in the 1930s to make way for a larger establishment.
Two new housing developments have appeared further down the road.
Further down on the left is the Society of the Resurrection's retreat, St Francis House.
Tennis courts, a café and beach huts are situated on the sands reclaimed from the sea beneath the cliffs; down them the steep access lane descends to the Riviera Club.
The Wheatsheaf Public House on the left is now a jewellers shop, and Matthews, the Gillingham brewery, closed down soon after this picture was taken.
The road coming in 100 yards down on the right is King Street. The Post Office and the King's Arms Hotel on the right are still there today.
Maiden Newton makes a good centre for exploring the Dorset downs. Many visitors walk up to the Iron Age hillfort of Eggardon.
In the days when trading wherries plied their way up and down the rivers, transporting goods from the East Coast sea ports, or from one town to another, Beccles was a thriving port.
A view looking west down King's Road from near the station towards Shottermill. Note the traction engine and trailer on the left of the picture, up Longdene Road.
Further down is Plums Cycle Depot.
This charming area is down the river from Little Silver, close to the confluence of the river Lowman. Today, the trees have grown appreciably, forming an almost impenetrable barrier.
Our photographer seems to have left his carrying bag in shot, down in the bottom left corner.
This sylvan path winds down from the castle inner bailey towards Park Lodge, and then through the Roman wall to more open parkland with the boating pool and the River Colne.
Back in the Market Place, the photographer looks south down the High Street. Cook's on the corner is still a newsagent and stationer, Goodnews.
Situated between the Hall and the village, Kelham Bridge's one claim to fame is that it was rammed and split in two by a small iceberg that floated down the Trent during the winter of 1854–55.
A horse-drawn wagon comes down the lane, and to the left is the spire of St Peter's Church.
This view looks down on Reynard's Cave and the River Dove. The wooded slopes in the background are on the Staffordshire bank of the Dove, and rise to Air Cottage on the top of the hill opposite.
Swanage spent much of the 20th century developing as a holiday resort, though the town never seemed quite sure whether to try to appeal to the masses or the more exclusive visitor.
As we look down onto Ferryside, we can see the main railway line to Carmarthen at the very right-hand side.
