The KICS (Co-op) drapery building with Jacobean bay windows can be seen down Newland Street.
Rottingdean, the valley of Rota's people, is cut off from its vast neighbour, Brighton, by steep chalk downs and sea cliffs.
The solid brick building two doors down, then the National Provincial Bank, is now Natwest. Further down is Boots the Chemist, the Midland Bank, the Lamb Inn and Moors Garage.
Washington is on the main London to Worthing Road at the foot of the Downs.
Warrington did once have a horsemarket, but it was further down the road, along Winwick Street outside Central Station.
Begun in 1772 as a market house, it seems to be a centrepiece for the vast County Down estate. The big house (the castle) was not yet begun, and it came without a long drive.
Findon is on the top of the Downs, just north of Worthing, and was noted for an annual sheep fair. Now horse breeding and training is an important local activity.
Graffham is a wooded hillside village under the Downs. Pescod's Stores has a Hovis sign on a painted wall.
Note the many shop awnings and the trams further down the street, a reminder of town centre public transport.
This view down the Wye was taken from the ancient Bakewell Bridge.
Down the slope the sgn of the Royal Oak Hotel hangs above the hand-cart; it was named for King Charles II, who was nearly captured on his escape into exile along this very street in 1651.
This shopping complex with its sweeping lines still contains large national shops, and seems unthreatened by the new Ridings Centre, off to the left down Southgate.
Half-way up the street is what appears to be a water-cart on damping-down duty.
In medieval times, Snaith was an important trading town - its market charter was granted in 1223.
We now turn left from the High Street into Sheaf Street and look back down the hill to Brook Street. The scene appears very quiet, with only one car and a cyclist to be seen.
To create the large tunnel entrance and the lead-up area, many back-to-back houses had to be pulled down; the town's library also had to be demolished.
The photograph shows Abbey Row; we are looking down towards the Triangle and the parish of Westport.
East of this golf course is the Banstead Downs Golf Course, and then east of the railway lies the rest of Banstead Downs, which are undeveloped heath and woodland.
We are looking down from Castle Park to Castle Hill and the city beyond. The Castle gateway is out of shot on the left.
This is a well-known beauty spot on the north face of Haytor where the Becka Brook hurtles down to join the River Bovey.
The KICS (Co-op) drapery building with Jacobean bay windows can be seen down Newland Street.
St Peter's Church was 'pulled down' in 1560, and this building was built in 1863.
A scene of a typical village pub: quiet, unassuming and somewhat down-at-heel, but an essential part of the fabric of English rural life.
A sailing barge makes its way along the Orwell, with lush wooded hillsides coming down to meet the broad tidal mudflats at the water's edge.
