Caption For Measham, Magna Motors C1965

Behind is the car park for the cars to come under the hammer, and the fully mechanised tuning, repairing, and testing service of Magna Motors.

Caption For Colchester, The Weir C1960

Until the 1950s Middle Mill Weir occupied the centre of this view, but the bridge over the weir remains as an important pedestrian link to the sportsfields and parks on the north bank of the River.

Caption For Wednesfield, High Street C1965

It was decided to demolish numerous properties and to rebuild them further back, thus widening the road and providing parking.

Ref. 69180
Caption For Hope, 1919

Perhaps a sign of the times, an open-topped automobile is parked outside the Old Hall Hotel, opposite the tree-fringed churchyard.

Caption For Sutton, The Woodstock, Stonecot Hill C1955

The Woodstock, constructed in the 1930s, continues to flourish today as it clearly did when this photograph was taken with these cars parked in the forecourt, although the frontage of the pub has since

Caption For Great Baddow, White Horse And Pump C1965

The White Horse stands in the High Street with a car park at the rear. Note the tall, brick-built chimneys. On the grass in front of the hotel is a pump and a trough.

Caption For Hallow, The Post Office And Oakleigh Avenue C1955

Today, however, it has grown, with an extension to the right of the building; in order to accommodate customers, much of the grass verge in the foreground has been taken over by parking space.

Caption For Crantock, The Village C1960

Here we see a quiet scene in the centre of a village that has become overwhelmed by post-war bungalow developments and surrounded by caravan and camping parks.

Caption For Swansea, Brynmill Park 1925

This is the 'Swan Park'. As 19th-century Swansea outgrew its water supply, the Board of Health remedied the situation by building two reservoirs, one at Brynmill and one at Cwmdonkin.

Caption For Astwood Bank, The Park C1965

The park seems to have been popular then, but is less so today. Maybe the constant traffic on neighbouring Evesham Road puts people off.

Caption For Road Weedon, Watling Street C1965

To the right are the post-war council houses and the filling station in the Globe Hotel car park. The blue sign for the M1 (left) is a new addition to the countryside.

Caption For Grange Over Sands, The Railway 1929

Here engine 12501 steams along the front, past the town's park, where the conical-roofed bandstand is prominent.

Caption For Chesterfield, The Cricket Ground, Queens Park C1950

Proposals were drawn up for a new pavilion, indoor nets, and a banqueting suite at Queen's Park, but were turned down by Chesterfield Borough Council.

Caption For Chester, Curzon Park West 1906

It then continued to Eaton Park and Saltney. In 1906 it was more expensive to sit inside a Chester tram than on the exposed upper deck.

Caption For St Ives, The Station C1945

This view of the station was taken before parts of the station were sacrificed to accommodate the present station car park.

Caption For Port Erin, 1895

As well as the development along the seafront, we can see the awnings on the shops along Station Road, the station, and the terrace known as Athol Park.

Caption For Herne Bay, The Bandstand 1927

An open-topped tourer and motor-cycles are parked by the entrance railings.

Caption For Peterborough, Church Street And Square C1965

The illegally-parked and shining Hillman Minx is a forerunner of the age of mass motoring, which will soon overwhelm the city's streets.

Caption For Pontarddulais, St Teilo Street C1945

Note the absence of road markings and the caravan and bicycle parked along the street. Note also the Dulais Pharmacy, 'Gwyn Jones, Dispensing Chemist', on the right before the chapel.

Caption For Bladon, Folly Bridge C1960

Bladon is situated outside the southern boundary of Blenheim Park. Blenheim Palace is the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.

Caption For Harlow, New Town Station C1960

The population in 1960 was 50,000, yet there are only about 75 cars parked at the station, as most people worked in the town.

Caption For Horning, The Village C1965

On the left is the rear of the Swan Inn; a car park has replaced the buildings ahead.

Caption For Dobwalls, Village 1906

This unprepossessing village, now the home of a major holiday theme park, straddles the main trunk road that bisects the county. It suffers the full impact of constant traffic.
