Those Lovely Days
These days Greylake's claim to fame is the council tip where people get rid of their rubbish, but when I was a little girl it was one of the greatest places in the world to me. If you go a couple of fields past the tip and ...Read more

I was a pupil at Rotherham Grammar School until 1948. My memories are of our form master 'Cabbage' Green, an ardent Labour Party member, and his use of the 'Flog Iron' which he used on all our form when we made a young female French ...Read more

Ealing 1962 Onwards
I moved to Windsor Road in Ealing in 1962 when I was 11. I remember the Grove with fond memories. All the shops! The tailor's shop and the barbers. The sweet shop which always had a bowl of water for the dogs outside in the ...Read more

Cadnam's extensive green is yet another of those delightful wide open spaces that seem to always be in close proximity to so many New Forest villages.
Athelhampton Hall is one of two grand houses near to the village of Puddletown, both lived in at various times by members of the Martyn family.
Another view of the Market Place, but this time from the opposite direction to photograph No 31073. The first grant for a weekly market was given by King John in 1196.
It replaced the original after yet another Norfolk fire gutted the town centre.
Another view from the quay, which is situated just to the north of Carrickfergus. It shows the little harbour wall and a rather full rowing boat setting out on an excursion.
Another view of Chesterfield's sloping Market Place.
North of Main Street, the dignified 1950s council housing was built on The Leys field.
Askrigg station is on the North Eastern Railway route between Northallerton and a conection with the Midland Railway at Hawes.
Another view of Waterhead shows the Waterhead Hotel, built to serve the increasing numbers of tourists who were arriving by train at the lakeside station at Bowness, and catching a steamer up the lake
Burtons and Timothy Whites face one another across Union Street, drawing many shoppers to the town. However, Aldershot offers much more than shops.
The ornate fountain and clock tower forms the centrepiece of the Market Place, but it looks as though Willenhall will soon have another attraction, the Zorba Grill—no doubt inspired by the film starring
Eventually another ladies hairdressing salon would overlook the river. Parking was still free.
The River Thurne joins the Bure here, and both are excellent for sailing.
At the bottom of Fore Street - down by the harbour and therefore handy for the maritime fraternity - are two pubs, the George and the Prince of Wales, both of which claim to be the oldest hostelry in
The River Thurne joins the Bure here, and both are excellent for sailing.
The New Forest Inn is another popular hostelry at Emery Down.
Another view of the High Street looking towards Maidstone Bridge on a sunny spring day. Once known as The Great Bridge, Maidstone Bridge was built in 1879 to designs of Sir Joseph Bazalgette.
Milnsbridge is now a suburb to the west of Huddersfield, and this picture shows its history as yet another typical Pennine mill town, with the imposing mill buildings filling the skyline, and the railway
It stands on the site of the original priory and of the 17th-century manor house that succeeded it. Stonework from both buildings is incorporated into the structure.
Not far from Wool are the ruins of Bindon Abbey, though little remains except for the stone foundations and a gatehouse. Its site offers some lovely walks for both locals and visitors.
Both the buildings in the foreground are now part of the Roy empire; the battlemented one, oddly named 'Miss Roy', sells clothes. The original store is now a food hall and restaurant..
This is another view of Stanifield Lane, but further out from the village. The pre-war houses stand neat and square on the lane. Farington is a parish in South Ribble Borough.
It would not be possible to take this photograph today, as the pier was destroyed by storms in 1979.
Although our long-dead photographer leaves us with no more information than that given, this is almost certainly another view of the Rogerstone Fourteen locks.
