Today, most of the buildings date only from the 1960s and 1970s - the street looks better in this photograph than it does now.
Beyond the nave and the crossing is the medieval choir and sanctuary, the oldest part of the church, dating from the 12th to the 14th century. It is crowned by an 18th-century vaulted ceiling.
The present Castle Rushen dates from the 12th to the 14th centuries. It was here in 1265 that Magnus, last of Man's Norse kings, died.
Looking back upstream past the boathouses in front of the 1830s St Helena Terrace and The White Cross, we see a fine view of Richmond Bridge, which dates from the 1770s and is one of the Thames' finest
The miller's house is dated 1728, and the three-storey mill building is also 18th-century.
The tree is still here, and so is the Old Hall (left), dating from the 17th century. The church of St John (1874) can be glimpsed through the tree.
The keep dates from 1454, and some parts are thought to be even older. The castle was extensively altered during the 16th and 17th centuries and again in the 19th century.
East from St Peter's Hill, Avenue Road descends towards the River Witham, lined by middle-class late Victorian semi-detached villas.
Dating from the 15th and 16th centuries, Snape was once the seat of the Fitz-Randolphs and Nevilles, Lords of Middleham, and was rebuilt by the Latimers during the reign of Henry VI.
The large clock on its ornamental bracket outside St Martin's Church dates from 1668; it still shows present-day shoppers the time.
Built of sandstone and dating back to Saxon times, although with a Norman nave and chancel, it still has a number of small pews for children installed in 1790 at the beginning of the Sunday School
This ancient cross head bearing a crude carving of a crucifix must pre-date the church by many centuries. The texture of the coarse granite of the district can be seen in the steps.
Ruther's the fishmonger and grocer's opposite dated from First World War days. The car about to turn left would find today's one-way system against him.
The event is further commemorated in Broadgate by a puppet clock which dates from Coventry's post-war reconstruction.
The earliest mention of the provision of education in Leeds dates from 1552 when William Sheafield, chantry priest of St Catherine, left property to support the upkeep of a schoolmaster.
The Church of St Andrew and St Mary has parts of the tower and porches that are 15th century; the rest dates from 1751, when it was enlarged to cater for the growing population working
By this date, Perranporth was becoming popular for bathing on account of its sandy beach. Pilchard fishing was also carried on, and a few boats are drawn up on the beach.
North of Grantham, set in its seven hundred acre landscaped deer park, Belton House was begun in 1685; it is architecturally conservative for that date with its cupola and balustraded flat roof.
The event is further commemorated in Broadgate by a puppet clock which dates from Coventry's post-war reconstruction.
The block in the background dates from the middle of the 20th century.
It looks horribly dated now, but this was state-of-the-art opulence in 1965.
Beyond Martin's Bank and the shops is the Black Bull Inn, which carries a date stone of 1855. A little way beyond, set back from the road, is the Brown Cow.
Further on are the Jockey Club and a large shop, now Palmer's, dated 1832.
Basingstoke's role as an important market centre dates back to medieval times; it was established as a borough in 1622 when James I granted the town a charter giving it a weekly market and a twice-yearly
