Caption For Langport, Bow Street C1955

From North Curry, we skirt the south edge of West Sedge Moor to the town of Langport on the east bank of the River Parrett.

Caption For Elstow, Village 1897

This view, looking south along High Street, has greatly changed: the thatched cottages have been demolished, and modern housing has been built on the right.

Caption For Bedford, The Suspension Bridge 1898

Crucial to Hawkins's plans was the linking of the south and north banks: this graceful suspension bridge, designed by John Webster and built in 1888, achieved this.

Caption For Aylesbury, Canal And Hills And Partridges Lock 1897

This view looks south-west along the canal past the last lock, No 16, Hills and Partridges Lock, to Park Street Bridge. (Hills and Partridges works have now long gone.)

Prickend marks the end of one expanse of land that stretches from Petts Wood in the south and to Summer Hill in the west.

Just south of Middlesmoor is Lofthouse, the northernmost point of the old Nidd Valley municipal railway.

This hamlet is to the south of Boxford and separated from it since 1975 by the bypass.

Caption For Stanstead Abbotts, The River Lee Navigation 1929

The complex of rivers and canals at Stanstead St Margarets and Stanstead Abbots bring together the Lea, the New River, Stanstead Mill Stream and, slightly further to the south, the River Stort.

Caption For Bourne, Edenham Village C1955

Heading south towards Bourne, the route diverts north-east of the town to Edenham, a delightful village on the east bank of the winding East Glen River, whose church has many remarkable monuments to the

Caption For Worthing, The Beach 1925

The first 1862 pier had been rebuilt in 1889, and again in 1914 when disastrous storms turned the South Pavilion into an island.

Caption For Robin Hoods Bay, The Bay Hotel 1927

The fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay lies just a few miles to the south of Whitby. Also known as Bay Town, the village became a favourite haunt for artists and holidaymakers alike.

Caption For Douglas, The Sands 1907

On the south side are the handsome stone piers, and a deep harbour cutting off most of the town from the cliffs of Douglas Head.

Caption For Horsham, Cottages In North Street 1907

These cottages, south of the junction with Hurst Road and built as a 15th-century hall and cross wing house by a prosperous farmer, had by 1907 been divided into four small cottages and given Victorian

Caption For Bridport, Bradpole Road 1903

Since renamed St Andrew's Road, here we are looking south-westwards towards Bridport. The nationally-known 20th-century author and playwright Thomas Ridley Sharpe moved here from Cambridge in 1978.

Caption For Bletchingley, The Morning Of The Hunt C1945

Going north to the Godstone to Reigate road, that part of the A25 that runs along the greensand ridge south of the North Downs, we reach the village of Bletchingley.

Caption For Hadlow, The King's Head C1950

This was constructed in the early 19th century by Walter May so that he could enjoy a prospect of the sea; however, the South Downs prevented his dream from being realised.

The former offices of Eastern Gas have already undergone a dramatic change: Tower Point is now 11 floors of one- to four- bedroom flats in the main area and a fitness centre at the south end.

Here we see the south front of the grammar school; it is now Bedford School, and from the start took boarders as well as day boys.

The old Infirmary, designed by John Wing and opened in 1803, fronted Ampthill Road; it was later expanded to be the Bedford General Hospital (South Site).

Caption For Bedford, De Parys Avenue 1921

Here we see the well-treed street looking more mature; the photographer is looking south back towards the town centre. It was truly a sylvan approach to Bedford Park.

Caption For Aylesbury, Walton Street 1921

We are looking from Market Square south-east into Walton Street. The Bell had been reworked in 1919, and is still much the same.

Caption For Pontefract, The Castle Keep 1964
