Caption For Gloucester, London Road 1891

The photographer earns much attention from the locals.

Caption For Newbury, Bartholomew Street C1965

This general view shows the street much as it is today - distinguished by its striking Georgian buildings.

Caption For Newbury, Bartholomew Street C1965

This general view shows the street much as it is today - distinguished by its striking Georgian buildings.

Caption For Whitney, The Church Interior C1950

The interior of St Peter and St Paul's church is much the same, although sadly, in my opinion, the 'God Is Love' script has been painted out. Notice, also, the beautifully carved pulpit.

Caption For Chieveley, The Manor And Church C1965

In the roof is one tie- beam on arched braces with traceried spandrels, probably also supporting the lenten veil. Side walls have lancets.

Caption For Penrith, King Street C1960

We are looking down Penrith's main shopping street.The scene has not changed much since Victorian days, except for the fact that the horses have by now disappeared and have been replaced by motor vehicles

Caption For Sketty, St Paul's Church 1910

Sketty was once very much in the countryside, but Swansea's urban sprawl has long since subsumed it.

Caption For Crawley, High Street And George Hotel 1905

However, much else in this view has gone.

Caption For Bakewell, Church 1923

Note that both road and footpath surfaces leave much to be desired.

Caption For Dartford, Holy Trinity Church 1902

There is much more activity, with horse- drawn carriages and children playing in the wide road.

Caption For Norwich, St Michael At Thorne Church, Ber Street 1891

St Michael's at Thorn was destroyed by bombs, so this is very much an archive photograph.

Caption For Llanelli, Town Hall Square 1957

Llanelli is still very much alive, and Town Hall Square is laid out in a most symmetrical and pleasing manner. It possesses a rather grand neo-Jacobean Town Hall with a highly decorative clock tower.

Caption For Reading, Queen Victoria Street 1910

A walking tour of its main streets and thoroughfares reveals much of architectural interest - particularly in the vicinity of Queen Victoria Street.

Caption For Monsal Dale, The Viaduct 1914

This stately five-arched structure now carries the Monsal Trail; and despite John Ruskins outbursts when it was built, it is now a protected structure.

Caption For Abergavenny, The Bridge C1965

There seems to be ample room beneath the wide arches of Llanfoist Bridge, but when the Usk floods the waters have often risen to the top of them and flooded the Castle Meadows in the foreground

Caption For Launceston, Coronation Park C1950

The entrance arch, with its green gates, was demolished in the 1980s to allow access for lorries building the new leisure centre.

Caption For Hastings, The Pier 1890

The pier has since been much built on, with varying degrees of success.

Caption For Madingley, The Ruined Windmill 1909

Looking very much a shadow of its former self, this windmill would have ground corn. In common with other mills in the area, it is a post mill, with the mill revolving round the central post.

Caption For Acle, The Bridge Inn C1955

The now much enlarged thatched house on the right is the only Bridge Inn building standing today; the left-hand one has been demolished.

Caption For Wool, The River C1955

Thatched cottages (right) stand between Woolbridge Manor and the River Frome, looking upstream from the five mediaeval arches of Wool Bridge.

Caption For St Ives, The Wharf 1890

The road is very different to its modern counterpart, and reflects how much the sea was the main way out of St Ives. Cars pass by today where boats were once pulled up on the beach.

Caption For Bexhill On Sea, Downs And Cricket Ground 1894

Before the new resort grew up across the landscape, much of the countryside around the old village was open downland along the breezy coastal strip.

Caption For Hitchin, The Priory C1955

The house looks much the same today, though it is now a conference centre. The bridge in the foreground is 18th century, built of brick rubble with a moulded parapet.

Caption For Hengoed, The Viaduct 1952

The line is long-since closed, but this towering sixteen-arch structure stands as a lasting reminder of Victorian skill and energy.
