Caption For Bourne, North Street 1952

Here we look from a bustling market place with the stalls spreading into North Street; the three gables of The Angel Hotel are on the left.

Caption For Horstead, The Mill 1902

The old lock has long been derelict, and pleasure craft now moor by the riverside, which is separated from the cottages and village street by meadows.

Caption For Ammanford, Quay Street 1937

The steep roofs and gables in the Dutch style overlook a hive of activity in this street scene.

Caption For Aylesbury, The Canal 1897

This view shows one of the principal shopping streets for this town of around 13,000 people.

Caption For Accrington, Blackburn Road 2004

Just on the left along Bridge Street was a borehole testing for the coal seam, and it is not surprising that when the lift shaft was being dug for the Argos store on the higher corner that coal should

Caption For Watchet, Swain Street 1906

Swain Street runs south from the harbour; it is narrow and mixed architecturally, as can be seen in this Edwardian view.

Caption For Chorleywood, The Church And School 1959

This proved inadequate and in 1869 G E Street buttressed and raised the tower, added a spire and rebuilt the rest of the church we see now.

Caption For Kibworth Harcourt, Leicester Road C1955

The main road which neatly divides the two Kibworths was not put in until 1810, having previously followed the rather tortuous line of the main village street.

Caption For Waddington, Coronation Bridge And Church C1955

The flower beds are a riot of colour in high summer; they lie alongside the stream that runs through the main street. Trees and St Helen's church make a splendid backdrop.

Caption For Wootton Bassett, High Street C1950

Parking problems did not exist here in these days in the High Street.

Caption For Ware, Crib Street C1955

Redevelopment in the 1970s has swept away many of the buildings on the west side of Crib Street.

Caption For Faversham, Court Street C1965
