Caption For Ibstock, Station Road C1965

The back of the Crown Inn can just be seen in the centre, where Station Road becomes Hinckley Road, curving south past the parish church, and on to Nailstone and Market Bosworth.

Caption For Quainton, The Parish Church C1955

This view from the south-east corner of the churchyard is little changed, although the yew is bigger. The pine by the chancel survives, but there is now a vulgar yellow conifer disrupting the view.

Treorchy has suffered all the vicissitudes that every South Wales coal industry community has suffered in the 20th century, and now unemployment is a sad statistic.

Caption For Woodmansterne, The Village C1955

The sudden inward rush of water up the Severn is at its best when backed by a south-westerly wind; then the bore is like the one pictured here.
