I remember going to get groceries from a shop called Perks (think was the name). It had those green and white (or black) mosaic tiles on the walls. Old fashioned scales, and I always loved the SPAM they sold! I seem to remember one of the ...Read more

Caption For Ogmore By Sea, Stepping Stones And Ogmore Castle 1937

The timber palisade was replaced by a stone curtain wall in the early 13th century; here we can see the remains of the 12th-century keep.

Caption For Asfordby, Dalgliesh Way C1965

Although lacking hedges and trees, the gardens are maturing behind fences and dwarf walls. The local council has already made a start on digging up the road and footpaths.

Caption For Houghton, All Saints Church 1904

You can see evidence of Saxon work in the walls of the nave, as well as the delicate sculpture of four Norman arches.

Caption For Sudbury, The Mill 1895

The youths sitting on the wall in front could be posing for the camera, or they might just be dangling a line into the mill stream to see what they might catch.

Caption For East Clandon, The Village 1904

Fifteen children have been neatly assembled by the photographer in front of the brick and half-timber cottages that comprised this small village, originally called Clandon Abbots.

The east wall has diaper patterns in stonework, which continue across the window.

A four-wheeled cart is pulled by two horses in tandem and appears to be loaded with brushwood faggots; all of the action is halted whilst waiting patiently for the photographer.There is a fine flint

Caption For Lancaster, From Castle Hill C1950

We are looking down Castle Hill, by the wall of Lancaster Castle. St Mary's Parade is to the left, going up to the church. The Judge's Lodgings are at the bottom of Castle Hill down the lane.

Caption For Abergavenny, The Castle 1893

The most infamous event in the castle's history occurred in the hall, situated just behind this outer wall.

Caption For Abergavenny, Frogmore Street C1955

The pedestrians walking towards the camera are heading for the High Street and, no doubt, the market.

Caption For Oakengates, The Square C1965

The group of buildings with the clock have all gone to make way for a road system around Oakengates. Notice also the little white building on the right next door to George Orme.

Caption For Waltham Abbey, The Gateway C1955

An unusual view of the Abbey Gateway—in the centre—and the bridge over the Cornmill Stream, a tributary of the River Lea, with people relaxing around the broken walls.

Caption For Minehead, Quay Street 1903

All the stone walls on the right went for the promenade extensions, but I suppose one should be grateful that Minehead's rebuilding mania did not sweep all of the town's seafaring past away.

Caption For Cawdor, Castle 1890

The central tower of the castle dates from a licence of 1454 when the thane was permitted to erect Cawdor 'with walls and ditches and equip the summit with turrets and means of defence, with warlike provisions

Caption For Glastonbury, The Abbey 1896

Comparison of this view with that seen today shows that some features have been restored inside the arch of the second sto- rey of the left-hand wall.

Raised above the road, behind a rather forbidding local stone boundary wall, the rather stumpy three-stage crenellated west tower is all that remains of the medieval church.

Caption For Tattershall, Buttercross C1955

The railings have gone, as have the brick wall and the trees behind it. The shop under the white blind is now named Something Fishy.

Caption For Dorchester, South Street C1950

On the adjoining wall is a plaque with the information that William Barnes lived here at about the same time - the older poet influenced the younger.

Caption For Framlingham, The Castle 1909

The castle, built between 1190 and 1210, is amongst the earliest castles in England to be constructed with a fortified curtain wall.

Caption For Borough Green, Quarry Hill C1955

The two old houses in the centre show how piecemeal were the alterations carried out by various owners down the centuries: below each has a wall of stone rubble, and above at least two courses of brick

Caption For Lyme Regis, Grannys Teeth 1912

One of the most memorable images in the entire Frith archive, this intimate shot of the Cobb wall was inspired by Jane Austen and Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
