Welfords, the general store of Old Harlow (H22026, page 25) has a corner site. The Red Lion next to Prentice Place (centre right) has 17th- and 18th-century features behind later additions.

Caption For Saffron Walden, Youth Hostel C1960

The whole building is L-shaped with the jettied upper storey coming round the corner, and by looking at the roof line we can see that the original building was added to later.

The shoes were made just round the corner in Market Street until the 1930s.

We have taken a 90-degree turn from F106013, and we face the opposite view of the corner of Chapel Lane and Three Tuns Lane.

Caption For Guisborough, Highcliffe 1913

The three-cornered field at the foot of Green Hill was always a familiar spot to the people of the town.

Caption For Redhill, High Street C1955

Fortunately the Wheatsheaf of 1900 on the right survives as an O'Neills pub, and so does the former Burton's on the opposite corner, but most of the right-hand buildings have gone for the Belfry

Caption For Pennard, The Castle 1893

There is a twin-towered gatehouse to the landward side, and square towers at each corner of the curtain wall. There is little information as to who owned Pennard, or who even lived in it.

Caption For Sutton, High Street C1965

Shinner's large department store with its clock over the pavement is visible (centre left), and so is the white frontage of Perring's furniture showroom on the corner of West Street.

Caption For Stowmarket, Tavern Street C1950

On the corner is Fidler's, menswear, taken over by Tydeman's in 1997. On the right is Stannard's, now in rebuilt premises, but here since c1916 and inventors of the Stannard Safety Cycle.

Silver Street was a place for refreshment; the ornate façade of the Rising Sun is on the right near the corner of Montagu Street, with a cluster of cafés like the Hollywood Restaurant and London Grill.

Caption For Manchester, Market Street 1889

We are looking from the Cross Street / Corporation Street corner. The art of bartering was just dying out.

Caption For Manchester, The Cathedral 1897

This corner of the Cathedral (the Manchester Regiment Chapel) was badly damaged in the blitz of the Second World War.

Caption For Liverpool, Church Street C1905

This cross-roads was nick-named 'Holy Corner': (Our) Lord Street, Church Street, (White) Chapel and Paradise Street met here.

Caption For Swavesey, High Street C1965

The quiet High Street, populated only by a Ford 105E Anglia, a Wolseley Hornet, a Ford Consul, and (peeping out of the corner on the left) a Fordson tractor, is a far cry from the days when Swavesey

Caption For Ashwell, The Church Of St Mary The Virgin C1951

Another graffito demonstrates the frustration of the stonemason - it reads: 'the corners are not set correctly - I spit on them'.

Caption For Chippenham, St Andrew's Church C1950

At the corner of the Market Place is the main entrance into St Mary's churchyard, to the left of the church. No 35 Market Place was the King's Head, which is first mentioned in a deed of 1770.

The corner shop, here selling crockery, tin bowls and leather bags, is now Peter Briggs, a shoe shop, but it remains largely unchanged, even preserving the same windows we see here.

There is the Peter Pan statue, a pirate ship on the lake, and 'Children's Corner', with elves hidden amongst the flowers, which has charmed thousands of young Merseysiders over the last century or so.

Caption For Belfast, Victoria Street 1897

The lower building marks the corner with Queens Square, and belonged to the Northern Bank. If it was to be left behind in height, its stone still befits the solidity of a bank.

It stands at the corner of Ballymagee Street, a name which was not thought quite suitable; it eventually became High Street.

Caption For Kettering, High Street C1960

Caption For Louth, Eastgate C1955

The corner shop on the left is Superdrug, and the Pack Horse Hotel is still there. The pedestrian crossing has been moved to be more convenient for shoppers, but not for car drivers!
