The White Lion Inn on the left dates from this period.
Pre-dating those in Winchester Cathedral, the paintings are unique: grisaille, in part the work of William Baker, they were done between 1479 and 1488.
Parts of the church date from the 1400s, and the three bells are said to have come from the Abbey after it was pulled down.
Parts of the church date from the 1400s, and the three bells are said to have come from the abbey after it was pulled down.
On the right of this picture is Scolland's Hall, dating from c1075 and probably the oldest domestic building in Britain. The 12th-century keep is on the north side.
The hall, parts of which date from 1550, has been re-built and added to over the years.
It is noted for fishing, and for a fine old mill dating from a long-time dependency on wool. It was the birthplace of the Oxford Tractarian Movement's leading light, John Keble, in 1792.
Parts of the hotel date back to 1640, and would have been known to the famous and infamous, royalty and riff-raff, in the heady days of Bibury Races, frequented in their day by Charles II and Nell
The northern end of New Road, with its spacious up-to-date villas, catered for the shop-owners and factory managers.
This beautiful church dates from the 12th century. It was originally dedicated to St Gwynllyw, a 5th-century warrior saint who established the first church on this site and is buried here.
In AD644 the date of Easter was fixed here in a meeting between the Celtic and Roman churches - the meeting was known as the Synod of Whitby.
It is said that Oliver Cromwell slept here after a Civil War skirmish at Winceby, so it would have to date from before the 1640s.
Although the building dates from the 14th century, the foundations are Saxon.
The Bell public house (right) dates from the 18th century.
It dates from the 16th century, and was originally the Chequers and Punch Bowl. At the end of the 19th century, Wareside boasted seven public houses.
The most impressive feature is the gatehouse, which dates from the 14th century with later additions.
If the date of the picture is correct, 1908 is quite late for a paddle-tug to be serving at other than a major coal port such as Cardiff, Sunderland or Seaham.
It was erected in 1914 (the date appears above the stained glass main doorway in the centre of the building), and was officially opened in 1916.
It is washday again; this time the linen is pegged on a line on Tate Hill sands. Washing machines were almost unknown at this date, and owned only by rich people.
Bell's furnishers dates from c1500, and since 1985 has had all its timbers exposed. The 1930s Burrell's garage had petrol pumps on the pavement installed in 1923; these were the first in Bury.
Mr Cecil Cole, talking of his childhood in the early years of the 20th century, quoted in Arthur Bate Venning and Arthur Wills' book 'Yesterday's Town'.
It dates from the 13th century and contains the Salisbury Chapel, built in 1618 to hold the tomb of Robert Cecil, first earl of Salisbury, at a cost of £460.
The pump house, dated 1900, was a centre of village life before piped mains water supplies. An iron cage protects the ornate lead pump head.
On the left is Shadwell Row: although greatly modified over the years, it incorporates two original houses dating from the late medieval period.
