I used to play around this pond, ride my bike through the edges, and later on caught fish here. Many of those were aquarium species that had been released into the pond. We used to catch goldfish often, and I once placed a ...Read more

The 1950s
Though I have some recall of the 1940s - eg starting school in 1948 at the age of three and a half and being reluctant to get off a rocking horse on the first day, it was the 1950s that really kicked in - to the accompaniment of songs ...Read more

This is another extremely pretty little village in the heart of what was once Cheshire's cheese-producing countryside.
Another of Sussex's seaside villages, Rustington boasts a few flint-walled cottages and a medieval church.
Beyond Smith's chemist's shop, on the left, and the entrance to the Shambles, is another Smith's: Alma House clothing store.
Here we see another church in an attractive location near the small village of Bekesbourne, which contains 18th-century cottages and some modern housing.
Note the rough road surface, which had not yet been modernised with tarmacadam.
In 1908 another historian recorded that 'many modern red-brick cottages are now in process of building to supply the needs of the men who are employed in the Eastleigh Railway Works'.
Towyn (or Tywyn) means both 'an extent of land' and 'a thing that shines', a good description of the sand and marsh around the town.
Both of them managed to preserve their roodloft, unlike most of Hampshire's churches, which lost them during the Reformation. The church has a bell turret and two windows containing Tudor glass.
The advent of parcel post in 1883, and the right of delivery to every household introduced in 1897, would have increased both the weight of the postmans sack and the length of his round.
Clothes are drying sluggishly behind the figures on the right-hand jetty. Just eleven years later the railway came to Whitby, altering trading patterns completely.
Two more were built after one another; the second was washed away by floods.
The site is on the banks of the river Adur about a mile from Steyning on the present A283; it made use of both a natural mound and a pre-Conquest earthwork.
Here we have another view of Prince's Corner on the right, with a glimpse of the High Street beyond the pseudo-timbering of The King's Arms (now The Fallow and Firkin).
E Clarke (right) was amongst the good family grocers in St Anne's, and the shop also sold to the hotels. G Benner & Company in the Square was another—it had a good motor delivery service.
The Shard Bridge Hotel was another stopping off place. Here the Hambleton hookings were available until over-culling ended the supply.
Less simple to fathom are some of the village street names. The lane in the centre of the village that crosses the bridge is called 'Bow Wow', while not far off is another named 'Upper Up'.
Oulton was another of the series of medieval broads stretching northward into Norfolk.
The enduring attraction of the River Thames to both Victorians and Edwardians is apparent on this broad bend, where the strolling figures on the tree-lined towpath are counter-pointed by those taking their
These demure Victorian villas, constructed to house commuting City workers, are outwardly unchanged, although now augmented by two more modern houses on the right-hand side of the picture.
There are two massive bridges in the town, and before the line east reaches another viaduct at Golcar, it passes over these smaller seven arches opposite the town of Linthwaite.
Another view of the High Street at a less congested point and on a very hot and sunny summer's day: the shopkeepers have lowered their sun-blinds to protect their wares, and the lady on the left has
The Co-operative is now the Silo Central, an internet café. There is another café just outside the village, at Derwen College.
Another interesting memorial in the park is the dedication on the island in the middle of the lake.
Both the 'Teal', and her sister ship the 'Swan', launched in 1938, are diesel-powered. The islands we can see are Hen Holme and the larger Lady Holme.
