Caption For Great Dunmow, High Street C1965

The building on the left is the Tudor Town Hall, also known as the Town House or Geld Hall. It was certainly in existence in 1571, and is now occupied by Trembath Welch, the estate agents.

Caption For Bournemouth, The Pier 1908

Its construction marked the town's commitment to its role as a resort.

Caption For Wetherby, Market Place 1909

At the turn of the century Wetherby was described in some tourist guides as 'a town of no interest'.

Caption For Louth, Mercer Row C1955

Louth was a prosperous, compact market town serving a large area of the central Wolds.

Caption For Newent, Broad Street C1955

The main shopping areas of Broad Street and Church Street have not changed too much in character since the camera clicked on this scene.

Caption For Swansea, St Mary's Church C1965

The St Mary's we see here was only a few years old, and is possibly the sixth church on the site. The 1898 version was completely destroyed in a wartime air raid, along with much of the town centre.

Caption For Sandwich, The Barbican 1924

In 1924, this compact little town had (and still has) its own town council.

Caption For Burnley, Town Hall 1895

Standing beside a bridge across the River Brun, from which the town takes its name, is Burnley Town Hall.

Caption For Chard, Fore Street 1907

Further west along the A30, Chard is a market town laid out in 1234 by Bishop Jocelyn of Wells.

Caption For Little Sutton, Chester Road 1966

Today Little Sutton has become a suburb of the much newer town of Ellesmere Port.

Caption For Boston, Market Place 1899

Boston, Botolph's Town, was laid out along the banks of the River Witham some time around 1100, within the parish of nearby Skirbeck, and rapidly became a great port, although it only received its first

Caption For Bridport, Victoria Grove 1897

Named for the Queen and photographed in the 60th year of what had become the longest reign on record, Victoria Grove encompassed the social and architectural extremes of the era, ranging

Caption For Carmarthen, The Old Oak 1949

The old stump of this tree known as Merlin's Oak is still kept in the town's civic hall.

Caption For Horbury, Westfield Road And Town Hall C1955

Now slightly nearer the town centre, we see more commercial and municipal buildings. The bus offices on the left stand opposite the old Midland Bank and the Town Hall and Library.

Caption For Bedford, St Paul's Church 1898

St Paul's Square became very much the civic centre of the town with the Floral Hall, the Corn Exchange, the Town Hall, the Shire Hall and County Offices looking out onto the church in its central

Caption For Pitsea, Railway Hotel And London Road C1955

His vision in 1925 was to create 'something really special' for the unplanned country village of Pitsea, turning it into a thriving town with a Tudor theme.

Caption For Bridlington, Prince Street 1897

The old town is in fact one mile inland from the sea, where in 1119, Walter de Grant founded an Augustinian priory.

Caption For Slough, High Street 1961

Many of Slough's town centre buildings are relatively new, dating from the post- and pre- war periods.

Caption For Bridgwater, The River And Bridge 1897

This view shows the shipping staithes at Bridgwater, this time downstream from the Town Bridge. Inevitably, the town is much changed now, with made-up roads, much more building - and no ships.

Caption For Burton On Trent, The River Trent C1960

The Trent tends to split into several channels and produce islands on its flood plain as it passes close to the town, having collected the grossly polluted River Tame five miles upstream.

Caption For Normanton, Hawhill Park C1965

Just near the boating lake is the old bandstand, now with only its base - the upper structure fell into disrepair and was removed.

Caption For Horsham, The Causeway 1898

Yet another town that has benefited from a by-pass, and is now rediscovering itself without constant through traffic.

Caption For Dursley, Market Place C1960

Owing to an unfortunate one-way traffic system foisted on the town since this photograph was taken, Dursley's Market House and Town Hall is now isolated on a roundabout.

Caption For Llandudno, The Pier 1890

Packing the hillside of Happy Valley above Llandudno, holidaymakers and residents alike enjoyed the views of the activity below them beside the recently constructed Victoria Pier.
