Caption For Hengoed, The Viaduct 1952

The line is long-since closed, but this towering sixteen-arch structure stands as a lasting reminder of Victorian skill and energy.

Caption For Norwich, St John The Baptist Church 1896

A temporary wall separates it from the crossing tower and the dust from the building works beyond the west tower arch.

Caption For Wokingham, All Saints Church C1955

Details of capitals and moulded arches suggest a 14th-century origin.

Caption For Honiton, High Street C1960

The High Street again, and a much busier scene is shown. The road is the A30 London to the west of England road which, even in 1955, could become horribly congested, especially at summer weekends.

Caption For Cambridge, The Mathematical Bridge C1955

The river above here is that which flows past the colleges, travelled on there at a much more leisurely rate by rowing boats and punts. The footbridge was built in 1892.

Caption For Cambridge, Jesus Lock 1925

The river above here is that which flows past the colleges, travelled on there at a much more leisurely rate by rowing boats and punts. The footbridge was built in 1892.

Caption For Fremington, The Cross Roads C1965

The three-arched buttressed bridge at Fremington has spanned the rushing waters of the Swale for centuries, and it still carries the main B6270 valley road today.

Caption For Kildwick, The Village C1960

This fine, four-arched bridge over the River Aire at Kildwick, between Keighley and Skipton, was built by the canons of Bolton Priory in the early 14th century.

Caption For Romaldkirk, The Church 1898

The area around the chancel arch includes some stonework from the village's Saxon church. In 1898 the rector of Romaldkirk also held the title of Lord of the Manor.

Caption For Church Stretton, Tudor Cottage, High Street C1965

The timber work on the gable end of the building fronting the road remains the same, but the front wall is now all stone, giving the entire structure a much more medieval apperance.

Caption For Bewdley, Bridge 1904

Thomas Telford's three-arched stone bridge dates from 1798 and cost £9000. The town is said to derive its name from 'beau lieu', or beautiful place.

Caption For Walberswick, Village 1919

This is a much more civilised image of Walberswick. The pub and the tea room (right) point to the village's new role.

Caption For Wallingford, The Bridge Boat House 1899

On the left of the picture is the long 900-ft bridge of sixteen arches, and on the opposite bank is the Town Arms. To the right is the Bridge Boat House and landing stage, now a restaurant.

Caption For Overton, St Mary's Church C1955

The church has 13th-century walls, 14th-century arches supported by Norman piers and a fascinating old door.

Caption For Corsham, Almshouses, The Schoolroom 1907

The south, or Tropenell, chapel is Perpendicular, as is the chancel arch and the tall north chapel.

Caption For Wetherby, The Bridge 1909

In this picture, the River Wharfe flows placidly under the arches of the ancient bridge. A little further down, however, it surges over a weir where a watermill used to stand.

Caption For Chertsey, Lock And Bridge 1890

This view looks east past the lock to the graceful seven-arched stone bridge. It was built around 1780 by James Paine. It had to be partially rebuilt, and was renovated in the late 1980s.

Caption For Postbridge, The Village 1931

Postbridge takes its name from the arched bridge that was built to carry the post road from Princetown in the south-west to Moretonhampstead in the north-east.

Caption For Mablethorpe, Butlins Amusement Park C1950

The fun fair with its big wheel has been entirely replaced with a much more spectacular amusement park complex including the Dunes Theatre.

Caption For Salisbury, The Cathedral, Choir East 1887

The stone is from Chilmark, ten miles to the west, and the slender black shafts supporting the arches are of Purbeck marble.

Caption For Snaefell, Summit 1897

Unfortunately, it was badly damaged by fire in 1982 and restoration work has left a much plainer building.

Caption For Malham, The Village C1960

This is the ancient arched bridge over the River Aire in the pretty Airedale village of Malham.

Caption For Bagshot, Viaduct 1901

Children idly watch the photographer - and each other - from either side of the road, and wagons stand under one of the arches in Kemp and Sons' yard.

Caption For London, The County Hall C1955

Though it sits heavily on the Embankment, its broad facades and massed arches in the Piranesi style bring it a monumental dignity.’
