Caption For Frome, The Market Place C1950

Boyle Cross was a fountain erected in 1871 and used for washing fish for the market. On the right is Lloyd's Bank, and beyond it is the entrance to Cheap Street.

Caption For Exmouth, The Strand 1906

Everything beyond the Wilts and Dorset Bank (now Lloyds) has been flattened. Otherwise, this view has all you would expect from such a vintage photograph.

Caption For Winchester, 1893

Winchester lies on the western banks of the River Itchen at a crossing important to Iron Age dwellers thousands of years ago.

Caption For Woking, Old Bank 1901

Buildings such as Woking's fine, if somewhat dull, Old Bank had no place in the exciting, post-war redeveloped Woking.

Caption For March, High Street C1955

The boy on the left appears to have been diverted from what he was doing: probably he has been hailed by the two cyclists opposite Lloyd's Bank, who seem to be about to head across the road towards him

Caption For Fakenham, Market Place C1955

As a market town, Fakenham serves the needs of a wide area of villages and farms - as is suggested by the presence of the main national banks.

Caption For Elsenham, Fullers End C1960

It later became the NatWest Bank. The two pubs featured here are The King's Arms (far left) and, up the hill, The Barley Mow.

Caption For Dartmoor, Dartmeet Bridge 1890

The original crossing here was a ford, probably used since Bronze Age times. The present bridge bears a plaque inscribed 'County Bridge 1792'.

Caption For Prestbury, The Village 1896

On the right is the half-timbered Priest's House, which is thought to date from the 14th century.

Caption For Knaresborough, Ferry To Dropping Well 1911

Moored alongside the far bank is a floating tea room, which appears to be doing a brisk trade. The rowing boat in the foreground is, in fact, the ferry to the Dropping Well.

Caption For Bamford, Derwent Valley Reservoir And Howden Dam C1965

This fine view of the Howden Dam, with the forbidding moorland of Bleaklow beyond, is taken from Abbey Bank, on the edge of the Howden Moors.

Caption For Prestbury, The Village 1896

On the right is the half-timbered Priest's House, which is thought to date from the 14th century.

Caption For Helston, Meneage Street 1895

In one of Helston's principal streets, we see on the right a characteristic gutter channel with running water.

Caption For Chilham, Old Houses 1903

These steep-roofed houses on the way up into the village square are typical of the beautiful houses built in the local vernacular style to be found in this locality.

Caption For Ashby De La Zouch, Market Street C1955

The slightly overlarge Italianate Town Hall, along with the French Renaissance bank building of 1891, dominate an otherwise well-ordered street scene.

Caption For St Annes, The Pier 1906

By 1906 the pier had been considerably widened and extended in length.

Caption For Malpas, 1890

The Truro River promises visitors exquisite scenery, its broad banks enriched with lush green woods.

Caption For Tadcaster, Bridge Street 1907

This bustling market town, dominated by lofty brewing chinmeys, has been brewing beer since the 18th century.

Caption For Andover, Anton Mill 1906

A child gazes wistfully into the tranquil waters of the River Anton, a tributary of the Test, which rises to the north of Andover and runs through the heart of the town.

Caption For Dittisham, The Dart At Sharpham 1889

The boathouse on the opposite bank belongs to Sharpham House, the Georgian pile visible above the trees, which was designed by Sir Robert Taylor.

Caption For Redcar, High Street C1960

A single-decker United bus allows passengers to disembark, having travelled all the way from Osmotherley. The Hinton's grocery shop on the right appears to be an early form of supermarket.

Caption For Acle, Entrance To River Thurne C1926

The Thurne is a tributary of the Bure, winding through vast, flat landscapes of salt marsh. Many of the buildings here are perilously below sea level.

Caption For Potter Heigham, River Thurne C1926

In the foreground a trading wherry is shown in considerable detail. Another is berthed on the opposite bank, identifiable by the wide, shallow hull and very high pennanted mast.
