Childhood Beach Hut

This scene of the old fishermen's beach huts shows my family's beach hut on the left.  The lady just about to enter the beach hut was my grandmother, I am playing on the beach and my sister is in the pushchair next to the ...Read more

A memory of Whitstable by Jan Talikowski

The Grand Hotel

I was born in Southwold but left there many years ago. This view shows the Grand Hotel which was demolished in the late 1950's. It was derelict for many years, this being the only way I remember it. As a child it was very daring ...Read more

A memory of Southwold by Ivan Bartlett

A memory of Mitcham in 1964 by Marion Lane

School

I went to school at St. Helen's School which was situated on the corner of North Side and Valley Road between 1955 - 1961. I actually lived in NORBURY and have some memories of Norbury when you open up a site for it. I hope you do.

A memory of Streatham by Christine Penter

Fish Chips

Having fish & chips from the Vesta Cafe on the New Road, they were the best. Playing the puggy at Favali's in the New Road. Playing down at the Newton Shore.  Skating at Ayr Ice Rink. Climbing the fence and getting into the dog track ...Read more

A memory of Ayr in 1948 by Donald Pettigrew

Once An Idyllic Dorset Village.

Since about the 1960s, Child Okeford became a totally different community from the one I first got to know in the early 1930's. The Watts (Harry and Dorothy) had farmed out of Laurel Farm for many decades and ...Read more

Child Okeford In The 1940s

I remember the village in the 1940s to 1970s. I went to school at the centre of the village till 1951 then went to Sturminster S.M school.  On the walk home from school we used to go into the forge run by Alfred ...Read more

Holiday Visits

In the early to mid 1950s I spent holiday time in Somersham - it was fascinating for a child from London, especially the little ditches and the wildflowers.  I stayed with "auntie" (Emma Goodchild), a relative of some kind through ...Read more

A memory of Somersham by Jacqueline Peachey

Warminster Is Home!

I was born in Warminster, in 1972, in what was known at the time as The Strawberry House! My Dad had painted it quite a deep pink, when he bought it. 44 Boreham Rd, that's where I was actually born, my lovely family home. My ...Read more

Cox's Boat Yard

This photo shows Cox's boatyard in late autumn not long after the boat shed on the left had been built. The shed had been part of a wartime camp some where in East Anglia and had been re-erected by the Cox brothers, Lewis and Sonny, complete with American pinups.

Caption For Hull, The Humber 1903

As well as general cargo shipped through the port, the amount of fish landed at St Andrew's Dock during this year, amounted to 1,580,959 cwts.

Caption For Southport, Lord Street, The Bandstand 1924

During the summer season Southport was a regular venue for bands from regiments of the British Army.

Caption For Colchester, Park Lane 1921

The profusion of lily pads suggests that its role as a boating lake has not yet been realised.

Caption For Sevenoaks, High Street 1900

We are looking downhill to where the High Street divides; it continues on as the right-hand fork. The lack of traffic is quite remarkable.

Caption For Wootton Bassett, High Street C1965

A clearer view of the decorative-timbered Town Hall. Built in 1700, it was restored in 1889 and served for some time as a library.

Caption For South Cerney, The Church C1960

It was unusual for a place of its former size to have held three manors.

Caption For Southport, Lord Street, The Bandstand 1924

During the summer season Southport was a regular venue for bands from regiments of the British Army.

Caption For East Cowes, Saunders Roe Seaplane Base C1955

Ten years before, Cockerell's prototype hovercraft had made its first test runs off the mouth of the Medina.

Caption For Peterborough, Cowgate 1904

Just out of sight is the magnificent 17th-century Guildhall, supported by columns to provide an open ground floor.

Caption For Fulbourn, High Street 1952

Peering just around the corner of the house on the right is a petrol pump. This might have been quite acceptable in the 1950s perhaps, but not legal now.

Caption For Felixstowe, Seafront 1893

It is a clear and sunny day, but very few people are on the beach. Felixstowe developed as a resort after the Empress of Germany stayed here in 1891.

Caption For Loughborough, Wards End 1954

This view towards the market shows the wide variety of small independent traders that still flourish in the town.

Caption For Cockington Village, Court Cottage 1889

Despite the throng of tourists on summer afternoons, Cockington retains its old-world charm with its picturesque thatched cottages, bee-haunted gardens, lovely old church and modest stately home.

Caption For Garelochhead, From The South West 1901

The Glasgow-bound train standing in the station is almost lost against the high ground overlooking the head of Glen Fruin, where Beinn Chaorach rises to over 2,300 ft.

Caption For Gloucester, Raikes's House 1923

Note that on the left-hand side at the top of the house the window is missing. Perhaps reconstruction is going on, or maybe repairs are about to start.

Caption For Basildon, Town Square, The 'mother And Child' Statue C1960

Maurice Lambert's 'Mother and Child' was commissioned in 1959, as a symbol of the New Town's growth. Lambert spent a year on the sculpture; Basildon spent £4,000 on it.

Caption For Cropredy, The Oxford Canal C1960

This view shows an early example of a houseboat. As an inexpensive home, converted narrowboats are still popular, especially closer to Oxford, where there are dozens to be seen.

Caption For Rockfield, The Bridge 1893

The stone bridge pictured here was washed away in a flood in c1957; it was replaced by a steel construction built onto the stone footings of the previous bridge.

Caption For Liskeard, King Doniert's Stone 1938

The stones have a Latin inscription, which reads 'Doniert ordered this for the good of his soul'.

Caption For Coombe Bissett, St Michael's Church C1955

St Michael's church in Coombe Bisset is a mixture of architectural styles. It has a picturesque traditional setting: a farmyard, a graveyard, a war memorial and a yew tree.

Caption For Rhyd Y Foel, Village C1965

Set below Pen y Corddyn Mawr, a Romano-British hill fort, these houses and cottages are a more recent addition to the ancient landscape of the North Wales coast.

Caption For Sherborne, Ladies College 1904

Another view of the school buildings, seen from the opposite side. At this time, this site had only been occupied by the school for no more than a year.

Caption For Barton Mills, The Bull Inn 1925

The pretty little village of Barton Mills, and the Bull Inn. In the 13th century, the local retor, Jacobus de Scabellis, became a cardinal, and ultimately, Pope Honorius IV.

Caption For Southbourne, Foxholes The Billiard Room C1955

there is more than a hint of the building's school past in this picture. the somewhat shabby billiard room looks suspiciously like a girls' dormitory or perhaps a gym!
