crossroads was a thriving commercial intersection at which three north eastern suburbs meet - Llanishen to our right, Cyncoed to our left and Heath straight ahead through the railway arches
At the east end of the nave aisle and on each side of the chancel arch are large brass posts with decorated candle holders, five in all.
The buildings all survive but the whole view has changed considerably with, believe it or not, a much narrower road.
In the picture we have two buildings from the 1930s: Lloyd's Bank (1932) with its giant arch, and the National Provincial Bank with its neo-classical portico.
There are two massive bridges in the town, and before the line east reaches another viaduct at Golcar, it passes over these smaller seven arches opposite the town of Linthwaite.
The Butter Cross was built in 1689, after the fire of the previous year which destroyed much of the town.
The flagpole is still in place, and only the trees have grown, creating a much more rustic scene than is evident here.
This photograph shows the old four-arched bridge over the estuary. There has been a crossing here since the 10th century. In the background, hedges snake their way up over the slopes.
At the right-hand end of the terrace is the Queen's Arms, a much earlier stone building.
Standing high above all three, it consists of 48 arches plus the two girder spans near the middle shown here.
Although much of St Peter's church dates from as recently as the 14th century, there are signs of a much earlier church on the site.
The much-expanded village rests on an ancient site - the remains of a Roman house were found here, and the church has Saxon foundations.
In the picture we have two buildings from the 1930s: Lloyd’s Bank (1932) with its giant arch, and the National Provincial Bank with its neo-classical portico.
The gabled building on the right with the arches is the Fuller Baptist Church, named after Andrew Fuller, who founded the Baptist Missionary Society.
Inside, two great arches culminate in chimneys which project into the garden.
Small fishing boats are drawn up on the beach, a ramp climbs past the fish cellar, and on the extreme left we can just see an arched incline to a limekiln which was in use from at least 1835
With its five arches, this ragstone bridge over the River Medway is said to be the finest medieval bridge in the south of England.
These, along with the arch, were moved from either St Michael's or one of the London churches and rebuilt at the Chantry by Sir Walter Gilbey.
This photograph shows the great arch at the eastern end of the abbey. It formed part of the structure above which was built the lantern tower and spire.
This view, through the great west door with limestone in the arches, shows the building materials well: Roman bricks, septaria and flint.
Two of the small arches were replaced with one large one, which explains why the bridge is not symmetrical.
The terrace of cottages in Allotment Lane has ragstone walls and a brick main façade; there is a low pediment at the centre with an arched window.
The train is seen from the Carlyon Bay golf course near the Crinnis arch. Diesel locomotives made their first appearance in the late 1950s, and the last steam train ran in 1964.
Stone from here was used to build Sheffield's Wicker Arches that carried the Manchester railway line from 1848 to 1969.
