A memory of Burnt Oak in 1946 by Anthony Kerrison

Snowing And Floating

Can't be too specific about the year, just know I was young. Perhaps we'd not been long in our house on Carr Lane, having lived in Dronfield before. What a treasure this house was, running water, separate bedrooms ...Read more

High Spring Tide Lyme Regis Cobb 10th March 2008

I stood at the end of the Cobb on the day of the worst storm this winter and both saw and felt the sea spray as the waves hit the top of the sea wall. It was just as exciting as shown in this ...Read more

Caption For Stow On The Wold, The Green C1955

The highest town in the Cotswolds can certainly be windswept, particularly in the winter. On balmier days it is a good place to halt for a while.

Caption For Downderry, Coastguard Bungalows 1901

The village slipway, up and down which fishing boats are still hauled to protect them from winter storms, is down the road to the left.

Caption For Parham, Portrait Gallery 1896

Its Long Gallery, used for winter promenades among the ancestral portraits, is 160 ft long, and the 19th-century ceiling was replaced by a more accurately-proportioned one.

Caption For Christchurch, The River Stour 1918

The circular estuary of the Stour and Avon, where the two rivers penetrate far inland, and the shores of Christchurch Bay, attract thousands of sea and wading birds, particularly during the winter months

Caption For London, Crystal Palace C1890

Pleasure seekers make the most of the winter weather skating on one of the many lakes. The Crystal Palace became a paradise for Londoners keen to escape the dirt and the grime.

Caption For Redcar, Newcomen Street 1901

Once winter set in, postal services operated on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Caption For Ivybridge, From River C1876

A view in winter of the river Erme near Ivybridge. This pretty river rises on Dartmoor, seen in the background, and flows 14 miles to the English Channel.

Caption For Plymouth, From Mount Edgcumbe 1890

In the centre is the Edgecumbes' Winter Villa, which later became the convent and nursing home Nazareth House. It was completely rebuilt after a fire.

Caption For Blackpool, From North Pier 1896

The picture gives us an indication of the size of the Gigantic Wheel at the Winter Gardens and the imposing bulk of the Tower.

Caption For Mayland, The River C1965

Although rather bleak in winter, in summer it is a busy centre for sailing. The Maylandsea Sailing Club is on the right of the picture.

Caption For Scarborough, Belmont 1890

Valley Road appears unsurfaced: dusty in summer, a quagmire in winter.

Caption For Dartmoor, River Dart, New Bridge 1890

New Bridge is the starting point for canoe- ists embarking on the stretch of the river known as 'The Loop'— a three-mile white- water run downstream to Holne Bridge, tackled in winter when the

Caption For Ormesby, Broad 1891

Thick reed beds glow golden in winter sunshine, a magical sight with blue sky reflected in the water.

Caption For Ingoldmells, Beacon Restaurant C1965

The restaurant was closed for the winter here, but it certainly looked neat and tidy and waiting for the rush of summer visitors.

Caption For Bridlington, Rough Sea, South Side 1906

During the winter months these rough seas are common on this coast. A terrible storm in 1871 claimed the lives of six local lifeboat men.

Caption For Sheringham, The Church 1894

In winter it would be treacherous. To the south of the town is remote heath and woodland.

Caption For Bournemouth, The Bandstand 1933

Its famous Symphony Orchestra often gives concerts at the nearby Winter Gardens.

Caption For Seaview, Salterns Cottages 1918

The name 'saltern' suggests that this was a place where early inhabitants of the island would come to the seashore in search of salt for the winter preservation of meat.

Caption For Aylesbury, Market Square 1901

This was not an uncommon practice, but in this case must have convinced no-one, for nobody is in winter clothes. The 'snow' clings to the Clocktower, whose foundation stone was laid in July 1876.

Caption For Wicken, Pond Green C1955

The thatched roofs are of reed harvested from Wicken Fen in the winter months.

Caption For Penistone, The Railway Bridge C1960

At an elevation of 747ft, Penistone always suffers with the weather, particularly in the ferocious winters of 1933, 1947 and 1963.

Caption For Babbacombe, The Beach 1925

Several winding walks form an alternative way to return to Babbacombe for the energetic, or in the winter months when the cliff railway is closed.
