A memory of Tenby by Pat Devlin

Wartime Memories.

The roof of the Town Hall was set alight by incendiary bombs in the heavy air-raids on Manchester and surrouding areas in late December 1940. I remember seeing it, being a young boy at the time. Sale is about six miles from Manchester centre.

As a boy I remember the big open fireplace in the main hall, and the times the large glass sheet above the fireplace falling down - this was to be a yearly thing if I recall correctly. Other memories - making our own snow skis; ...Read more

I have recently found out that my Great Grandmother Emma Frost (nee Lake) had a baby girl in 1864 called Annie Frost and she was born in Buckhurst Hill. I suppose Emma must have known someone in the Town. It was legal, she was ...Read more

On the lane south from the crossroads the last two houses on the left are timber-framed, the White Cottage on the left with original framing in the side elevation and fake to the front.

Another view along the Welland towards Town Bridge, over which the old Great North Road crossed into Lincolnshire.

Since the by-pass opened, the town has less traffic and the High Street has been paved with herring-bone paviours.

Caption For Wallasey, Capitol Roundabout C1960

This captures a time when everyone shopped on his or her local high street, and out-of-town shopping was unheard of.

Caption For London, Chelsea Embankment 1890

Yet upriver, above London Bridge, were the more modest colliers, whose simple barges, loaded by man-power, carried consignments on to Thameside towns, for shipment to the Midlands and the north through

Caption For Maesteg, Commercial Street C1955

Demand for steam coal caused collieries to be developed, and over a million tons of coal were mined annually.

Caption For Calne, St Edmund's Church C1965

The need for a new Catholic church in the town became particularly pressing when nearby RAF Lyneham was unable to provide a full- time chaplain to the station, and they helped fund its completion

Caption For St Austell, Pondhu Road 1912

This thatched cottage with its little garden stood in Pondhu Road, in the valley bottom to the south west of the town centre.

Caption For Cardiff, Queen Street 1893

The open aspect of the street pictured here and familiar to us today originates from the demolition of older buildings in 1862 to allow road widening.

Caption For Grange Over Sands, From Cragg 1901

We are looking out over Grange to Morecambe Bay from Charney Well Road, which rises steeply above the town. Now, houses occupy the slope in front of the camera.

Caption For Bangor, The Esplanade 1897

This shows the heart of the Victorian holiday town, with the required esplanade and gardens for strolling.

Caption For Liverpool, The William Brown Library And Museum 1895

The William Brown Library, with its fine portico of six Corinthian columns, was built in 1860 to house the natural history collection of the 13th Earl of Derby; this had been bequeathed to the town in

The hall, parts of which date from 1550, has been re-built and added to over the years.

At this time these shops would close at noon on Saturday, and Sunday opening was unheard of.

Caption For Royston, Parish Church C1965

At the Dissolution, the nave was demolished and the western arch of the tower was filled in. The people of the town bought the remains of the original building, and it then became the parish church.

Caption For Machynlleth, Penrallt Street 1899

This town, known to its inhabitants as 'Mach', is situated at the far north-west corner of Powys, so distant that it is also in the Snowdonia National Park and just ten miles from the sea.

Caption For Houghton, The Village 1914

The name Houghton, always pronounced `Hoe`ton`, has its origins in Saxon times, although there is evidence that there was a settlement here before the Roman period.

Caption For Luton, Upper George Street C1950

Certainly there would have been confusion between the original title and the burgeoning Dunstable Road just visible in the photograph beyond Christ Church at the top of the hill.

Caption For Cambridge, Magdalene College 1909

Magdalene College was founded by Henry VI as lodgings for student Benedictine monks, and was sited far enough from the town centre to avoid its inmates falling prey to its temptations.

Caption For Moreton In Marsh, High Street C1965

There is a pleasing lack of uniformity about the facades and rooflines of the buildings in the High Street, some of which are small cottages, and others grand town houses.

Caption For Stamford, St Mary's Hill From George Hotel C1955

In the era of the stage coach, the George Hotel was classed as the best hotel on the Great North Road, and it is still one of the best in the area.

Caption For Cambridge, Magdalene College 1909

Magdalene College was founded by Henry VI as lodgings for student Benedictine monks, and was sited far enough from the town centre to avoid its inmates falling prey to its temptations.
