Days Out In Christchurch

It made me sad seeing this photo, as my mum is buried at Hinton park. How I smiled when we left the park, and turned onto the main road. What faced me was the Cat and Fiddle. When I was a child, we would call there ...Read more

Caption For Rodney Stoke, The Rodney Stoke Inn C1955

It now has a caravan park and a restaurant. The walnut tree on the left is over a hundred years old and subject to a protection order.

Caption For Compton Chamberlayne, St Michael's Church C1955

The tiny church stands in the grounds of the huge manor house and park, and dates back to the late 13th century.

Caption For Petworth, Lombard Street 1900

Unusually, Petworth House itself is just beyond these walls instead of in the middle of its park, and this gives the town almost a French air.

Caption For Cardiff, City Hall And Law Courts 1906

Objectors to the audacious scheme suggested alternative sites in the Arms Park and Temperance Town.

Caption For Preston, Railcross School For The Deaf 1897

A residential school, it was established in 1894 on Brockholes Brow at Farringdon Park, and remained on the site for over 100 years before moving to new premises in Ashton in Ribble.

Caption For Peterborough, The Park 1919

They are here in the park, and a fitting reminder of all the men lost during the First World War, which ended less than a year before this picture was taken.

Caption For Market Deeping, Market Place C1955

The space in front of the shops is now a car park, and the traffic island has shrunk.

Caption For Ipswich, Christchurch Mansion 1893

The house became a museum, and the park and the arboretum a pleasure ground.

Caption For Pitsea, London Road C1955

His buildings survived the coming of the New Town, however, and his name is preserved in Howard Park and Howard Crescent.

Caption For Thaxted, From The West C1955

Much of the land here was once the grounds of the manor house - the park and the gardens.

Caption For Leicester, The Fielding Johnson Building, The University Of Leicester C1965

Designed by Shirley Harrison in 1913 in a classical yet economical style, the rendered brick building sits well in its very formal garden, close to Victoria Park and to Lutyens' War Memorial.

Caption For Gainsborough, Bridge Street C1955

On the left is now either cleared or a car park, and the road is much wider. Here the river Trent is the boundary between Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire.

Caption For Congleton, The Cloud And Timbersbrook C1950

There is now no trace of them, the site being occupied by a car park and picnic tables. Only the mill pond across the road remains.

Caption For Bellingham, Market Place C1960

The town is considered the gateway to the moors and forests of the Northumberland National Park, and the Pennine Way also passes through the town.

Caption For Machynlleth, Penrallt Street 1899

This town, known to its inhabitants as 'Mach', is situated at the far north-west corner of Powys, so distant that it is also in the Snowdonia National Park and just ten miles from the sea.

Caption For Seatown, Caravan Site And Golden Cap C1960

Almost all these fields, except those with the car-park and caravans, are now owned by the National Trust.

Caption For Chandler's Ford, The Lake C1955

It is possible that this lake, along with the one in Cranbury Park and the site of Merdon School, were once monks' fish ponds.

Caption For Leicester, Bandstand, Abbey Park C1955

Very rarely are they to be found in use, but nevertheless they seem to generate vivid images of Victorian England at peace with itself, nannies with prams exercising in the park, and lovers sitting

Caption For Abingdon, The River C1960

The island is now laid out as a private park, and much better managed that in the period when this view was taken.

Caption For Ramsgate, Ellington Park Fountain 1907

It opened on 7 September 1893 as Ellington Park, and this beautiful ornamental fountain was installed in 1895 as a gift from a former Burgess of Ramsgate, Mrs Barber, in memory of her son.

Caption For Cockfosters, Christ Church, Chalk Lane C1965

Designed by Henry Edward Kendall in 1839, and situated to the west of Cockfosters Underground station, this stock brick church was financed by the Bevan family who owned Trent Park, and whose origins were

Caption For Camberley, Gordon Road 1931

Charles Raleigh Knight, who constructed the road in 1880, lived in Frimley Park, and it was he who was responsible for the development of Camberley.

Caption For Disley, Market Street C1960

The town also sits on the northern boundaries of the Peak District National Park and beside the estate at Lyme Park (perhaps best known these days for the lake Mr Darcy dived into in the TV version of

Caption For Blackburn, Corporation Park, The Entrance 1923

No expense was spared in the making of the park and its lodge. The Borough coat of arms and its motto, 'Arte et Labore', is cut into the stone, along with the name of the park over the entrance arch.
