Caption For Wingham, High Street, South C1955

We have our backs to the Red Lion, and are looking down the A257 Sandwich and Deal road, with Lloyds Bank clearly visible on the right.

Caption For Huntingdon, The Bridge From Castle Hill 1898

The sturdy building on the opposite bank of the river was put up in the 1850s as a flour mill; later it was used for textiles. After a period of dereliction, it was converted into apartments.

Caption For Richmond, Market Place 1908

In the 1900s these included a tobacconist's, a bank, and two butchers. It now houses the regimental museum of the Green Howards.

Caption For Wimborne, West Borough C1955

The view looking north from the King's Head shows the National Provincial Bank on the left (now NatWest) and, opposite, the Button Shop (now the Wimborne Pottery).

Caption For Darlington, Victoria Road 1903

This photograph shows Victoria Road and the approach to Bank Top railway station.

Caption For Helston, Coinagehall Street 1931

What was the Cornish Bank (designed by W J Winn, who also built the Methodist Chapel) is now Lloyd's.

Caption For Oxford, 'the Eights' 1922

One of the most colourful events on the Thames, Eights Week takes place in May: it is then that the college barges and the river banks rapidly fill up with riverside spectators and those who simply enjoy

Caption For Blakeney, Post Office Corner C1950

The town is studded with fine brick and flint houses with steep pantiled roofs—on the right is the flamboyant brick and pebble Barclay's Bank.

Caption For Richmond, From West 1908

Taken from Billy Banks Wood south of the Swale, this distant view shows the defensive site of Richmond Castle, and the town clinging precariously - and picturesquely - to the hillside

Caption For Horbury, Westfield Road And Town Hall C1955

Now slightly nearer the town centre, we see more commercial and municipal buildings. The bus offices on the left stand opposite the old Midland Bank and the Town Hall and Library.

Caption For Dulverton, View From The Town Hall Steps C1960

This view, little changed today, looks up Fore Street to Bank Square and All Saints' Church.

Caption For Alford, Five Sail Mill C1960

This is a beautifully proportioned Lincolnshire ogee-capped windmill, which is located on the A1104 road to Mablethorpe.

Caption For Dovedale, Reynard's Cave From Above C1864

This view looks down on Reynard's Cave and the River Dove. The wooded slopes in the background are on the Staffordshire bank of the Dove, and rise to Air Cottage on the top of the hill opposite.

Caption For Crawley, The Village 1903

In the middle distance the London Brighton and South Coast Railway lines cut across Brighton Road on a level crossing.

Caption For St Ives, The Putting Green C1960

The putting green lies above Porthminster Beach. It was here, on rough sandy banks, that the St Ives pilchard fishing boats of the 19th century were drawn up clear of the beach.

Caption For Ross On Wye, Gloucester Road C1960

This view looks along Gloucester Road from its junction with the High Street beside the Market Hall.

Caption For Potter Heigham, The Broads C1926

Here we see sailing boats and dinghies alongside the River Thurne, with G Applegate's boatbuilding sheds on the west bank.

Caption For Haywards Heath, The Recreation Ground C1950

In this quintessentially English scene, one can almost hear the sound of bat hitting ball, followed by the ripple of applause from the knowledgeable spectators.

Caption For Porthpean, Beach C1955

This could be a bank holiday.

Caption For Andover, High Street C1960

Next to Lloyds Bank, W H Smith has long since given way to C & M DIY. There was talk in 2001 of upgrading the market street for the comfort of the silent majority, the town's pedestrians.

Caption For Newhaven, Lewes Road 1890

The Lewes Road used to be the main route out of town, but this is now along the east bank of the Ouse towards Lewes. This peaceful scene is now barely recognisable.

Caption For Melton Mowbray, Nottingham Street C1955

This view looks from the junction of the High Street and South Parade on market day.
