Memories Of Swithland
My first memory of Swithland Village goes way back to the days when I was very young. The war was over and we had become accustomed to Holidays at Home instead of going to the sea-side. My parents bought a chalet in what ...Read more

All that is the same are the steps leading down to the building, which is now two-storey and called Sealands. The adjoining house is now fully incorporated with it and unrecognisable.
We are just below the South Downs on the road between Midhurst and Chichester; this view looks across a footbridge over the stream that feeds into the Rother near Midhurst.
In the foreground, a local farmer has brought his horse and cart down the sandy lane to load a cargo or perhaps to collect seaweed to strew over his fields as fertiliser.
The field in the foreground, with its flint wall, lies to the south of East Blatchington Farm; the view looks south down Blatchington Hill, the village main street, with Belgrave Road passing in front
The tour moves south-west to Alfriston, situated in the River Cuckmere valley where the river cuts through the South Downs chalk.
Here the photographer looks north-west from near the hillfort that occupies the crest of the ridge, towards Poynings village and the scarp of the South Downs beyond at North Hill and Newtimber Hill.
Here we see the heart of what many claim is Kent's prettiest village: the tower of its 15th-century flintstone church of St Mary's looks down on this spacious square lined with half-timbered Tudor and
Water from the pump was used by the blacksmith to cool down and shrink the red-hot iron tyres he fitted to wooden wagon wheels.
Today a wonderfully complicated tourist sign stands here, with arms pointing down each of the seven roads that leave the square.
Further down is the Post Office, erected in 1889.
To the south-east of mediaeval Finchley, the High Road drops down from the North Circular Road between an almost standard series of parade shops built around the turn of the century, and past the Rex Cinema
Rawcliffe Hall was nearby, the home of the outrageous Squire Rawcliffe who burned down a windmill one bonfire night.
Weighing 3 cwt it was so heavy that it had to be brought down to ground level, as it was causing the wall to bulge. Near Fernbeck Cottages were found querns and bronze implements.
The timber building with steps leading down from the cliff (right) is the Pakefield lifeboat shed, which was washed away by 1905.
Mills were frequently rebuilt, and this mill replaces one that was burnt down in the 17th century.
Prior to the Second World War the house was pulled down and replaced with modern houses. An electric clock was installed in 1945.
This street, which is on the periphery of the main shopping area of Stourbridge, has now become rather run down - a pity, since there are one or two fine houses here dating from the 1700s,
Further down on the left, and beyond the two cars, a grocer sells Lyon's tea and Wills Star cigarettes.
The young man's body was brought back to St Donat's, where it lay in state in the great gallery, looked down upon by the portraits of his equally dead ancestors.
Bridge Street was known as Beaufront Street until the Middle Ages, and the land still sloped down to the sea until these sea walls were built after the Civil War.
Further down, St Joseph's Catholic Church arrived in 1935: not a masterpice, it has to be admitted, and in a pallid Gothic style.
Lewes, the medieval guardian of the gap through the South Downs cut by the River Ouse, occupies a fine hilltop site which produces a superb townscape.
This view down Silver Street, widened here at the junction with Gold Street in the 1930s, looks towards Dalkieth Place.
Today, the increase in size of vessels has led to a new port being created down-river at Avonmouth. Visiting ships now miss this magnificent suspension bridge.
