Memories Of Warwick Street
Johnson's Bakery was where you could sit on the pavement in the winter because the ovens where right next to the pavement in the cellar.

North Greenford In The Late 40s And 50s
I was born in Perivale Maternity Hospital in 1943. Like so many of your writers growing up then was a magical time; the freedom we had to wander the fields, play and fish in the canal (in homemade boats ...Read more

Live Music, Coalville
Whilst it is now many years ago, (I moved to Holland in '76), I'm just feeling ever so slightly miffed that your contributor didn't mention a couple of bands. I played in in the '60's, both hailing as 'Coalville' bands - ...Read more

Battersea Dogs Home
I don't really have much of a memory of Battersea but lived there with my mom and her friend Charlie, who I believe was a big man and very loud and kind. He had three children; Carolin, Marylin but I forget the boy's name. I ...Read more

Murtrays In Newcastle
As far as I know my great grandmother lived in Newcastle. SHe was Catherine Murray and was Joerdan to her own name. I know nothing of them as my great grandfather came to Scotland in 1904. Travelled over to see King Street where she stayed but no idea of which house.

Fond Memories Of Bramhall
We lived in Whitehaven Road at number 1. I was seven when we left and I was heartbroken, and so were my parents really. We moved to Suffolk, near Felixstowe and dad tried to encourage us to be enthusiastic because we ...Read more

Manor Arms (Little Country Pub)

Straight Road
We moved to Straight Road, probably in 1938. It was just a country lane and we used to play on the road without any problem. The Harold Hill estate hadn't been built then, a good job because of the number of bombs, doodlebugs and ...Read more

With New Town status and under the aegis of the Development Corporation, Bracknell began to expand rapidly.
The early Norman church of St Michael was altered and enlarged in 1330, and a perpendicular tower was added in the 15th century.
Company leadership was hands-on: the young director Percy Kidner enjoyed endurance driving, competing in the 1908 RAC 2,000-mile reliability trials among other events.
This view shows an early example of a houseboat on the Oxford Canal. As an inexpensive home, converted narrowboats are still popular, especially closer to Oxford where there are dozens to be seen.
Commercial traffic on the Weaver lasted for years. Northwich was noted for its chemical production - particularly salt.
An old coaching inn on the Emsworth to Harting road, which sold Henty and Constable's ales at the time of the photograph. The Inn is still trading. The scene today is little changed.
Even further north along the east side, much has now gone, with the New Town's modern shopping centre reaching the old High Street proper; but some of the spaciousness in the distance remains.
A scene which is familiar to us all, even in the rush of today's 'rat-run' world. Plodding cows head for the milking parlour, guided by the farmer on his wobbly upright bicycle.
The fountain in the centre was built at the beginning of the 17th century by Italian craftsmen.
The great cathedral spire dominates the view, with the square block of the castle on the left and St Peter Mancroft's tower in between.
Further west the High Street widens out to the site of its medieval market place. This view from beside The Dolphin pub shows how important the Tudor church tower is to the townscape.
It stands at the top of the low cliffs visible in photograph No 86689.
The design for a new Shakespeare Memorial Theatre was thrown open to competition; the winning entry was submitted by Elizabeth Scott, great-niece of Sir Gilbert Scott.
This fine study of a horse and cart at Handley Pond portrays a rural scene that could have been observed at any period during the last thousand years.
The columned and domed building in the distance on the right remains as part of Marks and Spencer. Everything else has gone; the buildings on the left were replaced by Debenhams in 1954.
Here on the beach at the Isle of Grain smugglers would land their booty to be transported to London. Behind the beach are concrete anti-tank defences, left over from World War II.
The Plough Inn and the surrounding houses are mostly built of local stone and tiled with Collyweston slate.
Three years old when this photograph was taken, it is one of four dams in the Elan Valley which supply water to Birmingham.
Ponies graze on the wide open spaces around Bucklers Hard, a reminder that the New Forest and its surrounding heathlands are never far away from the shores and estuaries of the south coast.
In those days, the beach area would often be a hive of activity, including donkey rides, ice cream and sweet stalls, shell fish and oyster sellers.
With a little stretch of the imagination one can visualise the original medieval town huddled below the abbey and the church.
The embankment borders a curve of the river and is a mile-and-a-quarter long. Nottingham folk have been coming here to relax and stroll under the trees for over a century.
Being well-turned-out was an important part of social life in the twenties; a stroll along The Groves on a sunny summer day was an excellent opportunity to see and be seen.
The name means simply 'long street', and the village is spread along the main road, originally the Roman road running from London to Caistor St Edmund, the Roman town just south of Norwich.
