A memory of Radlett by Hamish Adam

1960s

I lived in Connaught Avenue, and went to Grove Road school (up to 1963). I had 3 local friends. One lived on Hounslow Heath in a prefab (now Frampton Road). We weren't allowed to go to the fairs there. I did see grass snakes though! Near ...Read more

The Castle Lawn

I have a clearer copy of this photo in the book on Sevenoaks and Tonbridge and have studied it with a magnifying glass. I was one year old in 1951 (and according to my parents, already walking at 9 months). The posture of the ...Read more

Caption For Weybridge, The View From Monument Green C1965

Street lighting has been improved, and there are seats from which to enjoy the scene.

Caption For Guisborough, Market Place C1965

It is ten years after G66010, and more cars are evident. This view is flanked on the left by the shop front of Greenwoods chemist's and druggist's shop.

Caption For East Runton, The Beach Entrance 1921

Knowledge of the swift tides and currents in this area is vital, and that is why there are more fishermen using this beach than tourists, who have heeded the warning.

Caption For Somerton, Long Sutton And Langport Roads 1904

West of the Market Square the road divides: the left hand road goes to Long Sutton, the right fork heads for Langport.

Caption For Ilkley, The Tarn 1923

There are two tarns on the part of the moor by Ilkley shown in 45157A, pages 68-69, both within easy walking distance of the town.

Caption For Abingdon, St Helen's Church C1955

Just beyond the west tip of Nag's Head Island is the Malthouse (creeper-clad) and Fairlawn Wharf to the right, now housing and formerly warehouses and barns.

Caption For West Hoathly, The Store C1960

This picture is of the same road as photograph W64009, but dates from ten years later and is taken from the other direction.

Caption For Pulborough, Swans Corner 1921

The church and a cluster of old houses are at the top of the hill, and more old buildings are on the river bank, east and west of the Bognor Road river bridge.

Caption For Worthing, The Beach 1925

Between the wars, Worthing lost its wonderful town hall and theatre.

Caption For Holkham Hall, 1922

The huge building is set in a park of over 3,000 acres, which on certain days in the summer are opened to the public.

Caption For Hest Bank, The Canal C1955

Hest was part of Bolton-le-Sands, and was a hamlet near Morecambe Bay. Hest Bank was the seaward side of the village, right at the southern side of the mouth of the River Kent.

Caption For Hemingford Grey, The Apex C1960

The Apex stands in the fork of the junction between the High Street and Church Street, both of which lead down to old landing stages on the Great Ouse. Today, little has changed.

Caption For Shamley Green, The Village And Post Office C1965

Moving south-east and still within Wonersh parish, we reach Shamley Green, in 1965 still a remote Surrey hamlet loosely built around its triangular green.

Caption For Leighton Buzzard, High Street C1965

Ten years has made a tremendous difference in the appearance of both street and market day. The stalls are more tidy and professional in the goods on display.

Caption For Eastleigh, Leigh Road 1951

We are now further along Leigh Road and looking back towards the station. Trees planted c1900 are now mature, and more modern lighting has been installed.

Caption For Upper Boddington, Frog Lane C1965

Beyond this there are now modern houses. The overhead electricity wires and poles remain and the slate roofed house behind, quirkily named Toad Hall. There are more modern houses on the right.

Caption For Bewdley, The River C1940

On the far side of the Severn, a boathouse and rowing boats indicate a swing to tourist trade.

Caption For Rochester, High Street 1908

Not a hatless head to be seen as the open-top tram, en route to Frindsbury across the river, passes the lantern and railings of Eastgate House, threatening conflict with horse-drawn traffic.

Caption For Lakeside, The Terminal 1907

Lakeside is the settlement furthest away from the Lakeland mountains, but it is historically important as the entry point for large numbers of Victorian day visitors who came up from Lancashire by way

Caption For Crickhowell, High Street 1898

Farther along are more barrels and boxes. Outside the lower building next door, now a private residence, is a display of spades.

Caption For Ingoldmells, Moores Holiday Estate Camp C1955

Ingoldmells has had millions of pounds spent on its redevelopment, and more is promised for the future. This makes it difficult to recognise a place like this.

Caption For Caunsall, The Anchor C1950

The river has long been used for boats trading upstream and, more importantly, downstream, where the Stour links up with the River Severn and thus with the ports of Gloucester and Bristol.

Caption For Accrington, St John's Church 1899

The new parish was carved out of St James' parish as more and more houses and industry were attracted to the Burnley Road area.

Caption For Bagshot, High Street C1961

On the left is the Three Mariners pub, an 18th- century building, but standing beyond it now are overscaled two-storey offices.
