Caption For Roydon, The Old House C1955

The road outside this attractive timber-framed and weatherboarded house has changed little over the years. Note the impressive chimneys, both on the side and in the centre of the building.

Caption For St Ives, Bunkers Hill 1892

This street is now bedecked with flower baskets, but the splendidly cut granite blocks and steps of the houses still survive, as do the cobbles, or 'setts', of the street's surface.

Caption For Godmanchester, The Causeway C1950

This view shows a picturesque mix of house styles, the timber-framed examples probably dating from the early 17th century, fronting onto a pool, essentially an inlet of the River Ouse.

Caption For Chenies, Old Manor House 1897

This graceful manor house, built of brick and with a moat, was originally constructed around 1430 near Moor Farm. Cardinal Wolsey substantially enlarged it in 1520, while he was Lord Chancellor.

Caption For Pontymister, View From Ochwyth C1955

This photograph gives us some idea of the rural setting for this village, something of a constrast to the dense housing of the village itself.

Caption For Netherbury, The Village 1912

From this view of the crossroads, one can see The Redes on the left, and on the right, Japonica Cottage, which housed Netherbury Post Office.

Caption For Cambridge, Pembroke College C1955

The chapel houses a memorial to one of its more famous alumni, John Addenbrooke, whose bequest founded the county hospital.

Caption For Fulbourn, High Street 1952

Peering just around the corner of the house on the right is a petrol pump. This was quite acceptable in the 1950s perhaps, but is not legal now.

Caption For Bakewell, St Anselms School C1955

The only real change has been the construction of the headmaster's house to the right hand side of this view.

Caption For Westbury, Meadow Lane Estate C1965

This view looks west towards Frogmore Road, and shows a new private housing development. The parish church of All Saints is a familiar landmark in the centre distance.

Caption For Cambridge, St Catharine's College 1890

The chapel houses a memorial to one of its more famous alumni, John Addenbrooke, whose bequest founded the county hospital.

Caption For Tenby, The Harbour 1925

The remains of the 13th-century castle are on the hill beyond the houses. The Pier, which has now been removed, and the slipway are to the left.

Caption For Teddington, The King's Head, High Street 2005

The village population had grown to just short of 700, and there were now over 100 houses. The way of life had remained basically agricultural.

Caption For Gloucester, Raikes's House 1923

Note that on the left-hand side at the top of the house the window is missing. Perhaps reconstruction is going on, or maybe repairs are about to start.

Caption For Accrington, Market Hall 1897

It has always housed many stalls selling a wide assortment of goods.

Caption For Rhyd Y Foel, Village C1965

Set below Pen y Corddyn Mawr, a Romano-British hill fort, these houses and cottages are a more recent addition to the ancient landscape of the North Wales coast.

Caption For Tilehurst, School Road C1960

Bustling School Road has long been lined with shops and houses. There used to be an old forge here, with a shed used for destroying unwanted horses and ponies.

Caption For Fulbourn, High Street 1952

Peering just around the corner of the house on the right is a petrol pump. This might have been quite acceptable in the 1950s perhaps, but not legal now.

Caption For Gloucester, The Cathedral From The Air C1965

Surrounding this splendid structure are the houses and local businesses of the city centre that lead to Westgate Street, Eastgate Street, Southgate Street and Northgate Street.

Caption For High Salvington, 1919

In 1919 Worthing had not yet sprawled up the valley below Salvington Hill, and you could look across to Cissbury Ring without the neat, but characterless, housing of Findon Valley in between.

Caption For Norwich, St Helen's Square, Great Hospital 1921

Originally intended for housing poor clergy, and other poor people, the hospital was founded by Bishop Walter de Suffield in 1249. Masses were to be said here for his soul in perpetuity.

Caption For Swyre, Bull Inn C1965

All the more reason to be grateful for this convenient public house.

Caption For St Dogmaels, High Street C1955

Note the interesting brickwork on the house on the right.

Caption For Southwold, From Lighthouse 1893

While many houses burned down in the fire of 1659, the 15th century church of St. Edmund survived because the churchyard served as a fire break.
