Twin cataracts cascade down the limestone outcrop before joining together to descend almost gracefully forward and onward to tumble into the river, a thousand feet below.

Caption For Heysham, The Village 1947

We are at the top of Main Street, looking back down through the village from the bus station.

Caption For Camelford, The Grave Of King Arthur C1960

Since there is no evidence of Arthur ever existing, the claim that this is his grave is academic, though it would be foolish to ignore the power of handed-down legend.

Caption For Hampton Wick, Below Kingston 1890

Private boathouses line the river, and well manicured lawns sweep down to the water.

Caption For Helston, Wendron Street 1913
