Re Hilly Fields, Enfield C1950

I also have good memories of "dag jumping" and catching tadpoles in the brook at Hilly Fields and Fourteen Arches. The wonderful smell of of the grass as we played "roly poly" down the hills and over the bumps. Games ...Read more

A memory of Enfield by Rita Thompson Marston

Haig Hall

I have wonderful memories of sunny day outings to Haig Hall. Mum and I would catch the bus from Newtown to Wigan and then we would walk from the town centre up to the main gates. A short walk in from the main gates and the little tractor ...Read more

A memory of Farnham Royal by Bob Unsworth

The Barber Shop

This photo was taken around 1960 as my father (who can be seen in the photo, cleaning the bedroom window) bought number 11, St Paul's Street in 1958 and did not open the barber shop for over a year. I was 5 years old when we moved ...Read more

Playing On The Lake

This is a memory I have of when I was seven or eight in Frimley Green, Surrey. We had a lake calle Bransen (or Bransted), off of Wharf Road. I used to go there a lot, especially after I heard voices behind the ...Read more

Born In The 60s In Whetstone

A memory of North Finchley by Victoria Mabbott

Filled Our Trolley

We were married in April 1978 and our first big shop was done at Waitrose.  We filled a full size trolley to the brim for the princely sum of £20.00. This area is now the entrance to the Woolgate Centre Happy days....

Caption For Chatham, St Bartholomew's Hospital C1960

Chatham's naval memorial spears the skyline in the centre of the picture.

Caption For Broadstairs, View From The Cliffe 1962

We are looking from the Cliffe; Bleak House is prominent in the centre of the photograph. Note the small train ride in the left-hand corner of the beach.

Caption For Burton, View Of Moel Fammau C1960

The peak in the centre of the photograph is Moel Fammau, the highest mountain in the Clwydian Range at 1,821 feet.

Caption For Feckenham, Alcester Road 1967

It is interesting to note that the brick cottages in the centre have a timber-framed gable end, revealing a much older origin than the brickwork suggests.

Caption For Redcar, High Street C1960

High on the wall in the centre is the sign for the Redcar Literary Institute – the annual subscription was 10s. Clothing styles have changed - no anoraks and trainers here!

Caption For Launceston, Fore Street 1893

This photograph is taken from the spot where the Job Centre now stands, or the car park just down the hill.

Caption For Bembridge, The Village 1923

Bembridge, the easternmost settlement on the Isle of Wight, became popular in late Victorian times as a centre for golf, being the headquarters of the Isle of Wight Golf Club.

Caption For Burley, Cross And Post Office C1960

A penny-farthing can be seen leaning against the front of the cycle stores in the centre of Burley, which John Wise described in 1863 as 'one of the most primitive of (New) Forest hamlets'.

Caption For Dorking, High Street 1905

This view of the High Street has changed out of all recognition - though the 15th-century White Horse, a famous coaching inn in the centre of the picture, still stands, and the view is still terminated

Caption For Masham, The Druids Temple C1960

The strange monolith seen through the trilithon in the centre of the photograph bears no resemblance to any Neolithic monument, however.

Caption For Moulton, West Street C1950

Moulton is only a stone's throw from the centre of Northampton; when the town thrived on shoe manufacture, many men and women walked from this village to work in the shoe factories.

Caption For Raunds, Brook Street C1960

Raunds used to be a bustling manufacturing centre for shoes, but most of the factories have now gone.

Caption For Hinderwell, West End C1960

The lovely Georgian rectory is seen in the centre of the view, and on the verge on the right we see, again, milk churns waiting for collection, this time on a wheeled trolly.

Caption For Port Talbot, Taibach Memorial Park 1938

Margam, with its abbey, was a centre of Christian worship for over 1,000 years from the time when monks of the Celtic church established a monastery here.

Caption For Westgate On Sea, 1890

Victorian ladies stroll on the promenade—note the lady pushing a pram in the centre—and holiday makers enjoy themselves on the beach.

Caption For Steep, Kettlebrook 1898

To the west lies the village centre and the partly Norman church of All Saints. The First World War poet Edward Thomas lived at nearby Berryfield Cottage.

Caption For Wrexham, Hope Street And The Talbot Inn 1895

The town was a centre for brewing, malting, tanning and mining as well as staging Monday, Thursday and Saturday markets.

Caption For West Bridgford, Bridgford Hotel C1965

The hotel has now become a civic centre and tall stands for spectators surround the stadium's floodlights.

Caption For Dorking, High Street 1905

On market days hair cutting was performed at the side of the Market Place just outside the White Horse Inn (the white building, centre right).

Caption For Romford, Junction Road 1908

Just off Main Road, Junction Road lies sufficiently distant from the hubbub of the market and town centre to provide a tranquil setting for tasteful town villas.

Caption For Collier Row, The Church Of The Ascension 1908

However, look more closely at the centre of the picture and you will see in the distance the sign of the White Hart public house.

Caption For Beare Green, Post Office 1924

Beare Green bricks form the unusual 'Brick Knot' sculpture that can be seen in the centre of Reigate.

Caption For Winster, Market House C1955

The sandstone and brick structure originally had open archways on the ground floor, like the similar building in the centre of Bakewell.

Caption For Hope, The Village C1965

Another view of the centre of the village, showing the Old Hall Hotel on the right and the raised, walled churchyard on the left.
