Caption For Bath, Fernley Hotel 1935

It is part of the elder Wood's Royal Forum, with its long, formal composition fronting North Parade.

Caption For Oakham, Church Interior 1927

On the left, a curtain covers the north door. The same radiators are in use to-day. Looking diagonally right, there is a good view of the organ pipes in the Lady Chapel, beyond the chancel.

Caption For Carew, From North West 1893

The west range of the castle to the right dates back to the 13th century, whereas the heavily fenestrated north range to the left is Elizabethan, the work of Sir John Perrot, half-brother

Caption For Daventry, North Street C1965

For many years Grammar School pupils used North Street to reach their sports ground at the bottom of the hill. We now return up the hill to High Street.

Hanbury sprawls along the B4091, which runs north from the Saltway to Bromsgrove.

Caption For Bourne, North Road C1955

This is the extremely busy A15 main road heading north to Folkingham, Lincoln and eventually the Humber Bridge and south (the way we are facing) to Market Deeping and Peterborough.

Caption For Launceston, The Priory 1938

This jumble of stones, just to the north of St Thomas's Church, is all that remains of a priory so wealthy that it once lent money to the King.

Caption For Launceston, South Gate And Castle 1893

The North and West gates were demolished in 1832 and 1812 respectively. The Plymouth and Devonport Inn, whose sign can just be seen to the right of the arch, is now the Newmarket.

Caption For Launceston, The Priory 1938

This jumble of stones, just to the north of St Thomas's Church, is all that remains of a priory so wealthy that it once lent money to the King.

Caption For Edinburgh, Princes Street 1897

The most expensive to stay at was the North British at Waverley Station.

Caption For London, Buckingham Palace And The Mall C1955

until 1850, when it was removed to its present position at the top of Park Lane.The Mall, an expansive and formal approach to the Palace, is fringed with limes, planes and elms, and skirts the north

Caption For Bedale, From The Tower Of St Gregory's Church 1896

In the centre is the old cross: the blur to the left is a pony and trap moving too quickly for the photographer's camera. The market town of Bedale is just a few miles to the north-east of Masham.

Caption For Chedgrave, Church C1955

The unusual square tower at the north-east corner is thatched with Norfolk reed.

Caption For Hitchin, Churchyard C1955

The view looking north in the Churchyard in the mid 1950s was much the same then as it is today. In 1963, a well was found in the premises facing us, then Wendy's Hat Shop.

Caption For Blackpool, The South Jetty From The Wellington Hotel 1890

In the background is the North Pier, with an excursion steamer alongside its landing stage. This picture was taken from the South Jetty.

Caption For London, Regent Street C1890

This view looks north towards Oxford Street. Nash’s handsome terraces were spurned by London’s affluent classes, for stucco was considered common.

Before this date there were three separate industrial settlements, Beaufort in the north, Ebbw Vale in the centre, and Victoria in the south.

Caption For Woolacombe, The Village 1899

The village is at the north end of a magnificent two-mile long sandy beach. Until the 1800s this stretch of coast was remote, its splendours familiar only to Ilfracombe fishermen.

Caption For Kensington, St Mary Abbott's 1899

To the right we can see Kensington Church Street leading north to Notting Hill Gate.

Caption For Preston, Avenham Park And The Park Hotel 1893

The hotel was built by the London and North Western Railway Company for travellers from London to Scotland.

Caption For Southend On Sea, The Beach 1898

Southend was immensely popular with the lower middle and working classes from north and East London: none of the genteel pretensions of an Eastbourne here.

Caption For Oxford, 'the Eights' 1922

Here, seen from the tow path along the west bank, looking north towards Christchurch Meadow, the annual Eights Week is in full swing at the end of May when the college boats race each other.

Caption For Lechlade, Burford Street C1950

This view looks north out of the Market Place, past the corner of St John Street, with the Old Vicarage on the right.

Caption For Marlow, The Embankment C1955

Nowadays the bank is more formalised and the trees are fewer than in this view, which looks along the river bank north-east to the suspension bridge.
