Caption For Bedford, Town Bridge C1955

In one form or another is has stood on the site for centuries; it carries the main road from the south; it is a symbol of the involvement by the town's citizens with their river.

Caption For Houghton, The Village 1914

Running parallel to the south of the road, the Great Ouse meanders between the two towns, and Houghton took advantage of both road and waterborne trade.

Caption For Kingsbury, Church Lane And St Andrew's Church C1950

Except in this enclave, it is difficult to imagine that Kingsbury did not originate in the 1930s as part of the engulfing suburban sea.

Caption For Painswick, New Street C1950

This is another exceptional little town, set in its own south-facing timbered valley just east of the escarpment between Stroud and Gloucester. It is a place that makes grey look very good.

Caption For Quorn, The Church C1960

The church, mainly of the 14th century, stands within a grassy churchyard, close to the A6 Leicester-Loughborough Road.

Caption For Bingley, Locks On The Leeds And Liverpool Canal C1900

This splendid view shows both the flight and boats.

Caption For Byworth, The Village 1906

Both are 15th-century timber-framed houses built for prosperous farmers.

Caption For Braintree, Bocking End C1955

The Co-operative's elegant range of buildings with a clock tower was another victim of 1960s development in the town. The Society was formed by a group of silk workers in 1864.

Caption For Sudbury, King Street And County Cinema 1934

The cinema and the row of shops were built in the 1930s on the site of the Rose and Crown Hotel, which was destroyed by fire in 1922.

Caption For Petersfield, High Street C1965

Yet another evocative photograph from the past. Right is the Southdown booking office, with No. 9 the Square accommodating A G Suthers run by electrician 'Cherry' Messam.

Caption For Painswick, New Street C1950

This is another exceptional little town, set in its own south-facing timbered valley just east of the escarpment between Stroud and Gloucester. It is a place that makes grey look very good.

Caption For Bridport, East Bridge 1897

There is another 18th-century house on the opposite side of the street, built in 1769 as Rev James Rooker`s Academy (right).

Caption For Luton, Upper George Street C1950

Originally called Dunstable Street, there is no available record of the reason for the change of name apart from the coincidence of the accession to the throne of King George V.

Caption For Steeple Ashton, St Mary's Church 1900

Yet another clothier's church, St Mary's at Steeple Ashton had a steeple, as the village name implies, but it was blown down in 1670. Stone vaulting in the nave has been replaced with wood.

Caption For Howth, The Harbour 1897

It is interesting that the boatman is using an oar on the starboard side, and is watching the effect on the craft as the boy standing with both hands on the port oar takes the strain on the rowlock.

Caption For Tenby, The Harbour 1890

The girl carrying a baby (left) and the children playing in the boats are noticeably not visitors.

Caption For Melksham, Canon Square And War Memorial C1955

Caption For Harpenden, The Pond On The Common C1960

On the third Tuesday in September, the Harpenden Statty Fair (Statute Fair) was held on the common close to the pond and the adjacent Triangle.

The River Beane runs close to the church, and is liable to heavy flooding.

Three years prior to the date of this photograph, an Australian visitor claimed that for its six hundred inhabitants there were five licensed premises along two hundred yards of Wrecclesham's main street

Caption For Cottingham, King Street C1955

Seven miles from the Humber and to the west of Hull, Cottingham was another desirable place to live for prosperous merchants; in the 18th century there were five magnificent houses here, which were all

Caption For Shanklin, From Lift Steps 1892

The yacht is passing by the north side of the Broad, with 1930s bungalows along the frontage. The yacht is typical of those developed since the 1930s for use on the Broads.

Caption For Haywards Heath, Muster Green C1950

Muster Green is another open space maintained by the local council, and it flanks the A272.

Caption For Chelmsford, New Street 1920
