Caption For Burry Port, The Station And Station Road C1955

This can be seen clearly in the rockery and floral arrangements shown here. The railway line west of Llanelli was the creation of the great days of the coal and tin plate trade.

Caption For Preston, Fishergate C1960

Here we have a good view of the area that is to the west of Market Square.

Haddenham was one of the chief breeding areas for the Aylesbury duck; its network of streams and ponds was of immense value to this industry, even if the village was famously foul-smellling in a hot summer

Looking west uphill along the High Street, the jettied timber-framed cottages span an alley to the church and its lychgate.

Situated west of the Concert Bowl, the rose gardens were laid out in the late 1920s-early 1930s on the site of a former maze.

Caption For Market Rasen, Town Hall Cinema C1955

The town, separated from The Wolds to the east by thin sandy moors, now mostly afforested, became the main market for a wide area in the 16th century, and changed its name from East to Market Rasen.

Built around its fine market place, it found new life in the 19th century when it joined Northamptonshire's boot and shoe industry with several factories and terraces of hard red Midland brick houses.
