The broad expanse of the Promenade stretching east to Sandgate is still as popular with visitors today as it was with the Victorian and Edwardian holidaymakers who visited this Cinque Port, and whose continued
From the bottom of Valley Road the camera captures a crowded South Beach scene, and a bay full of sail-driven fishing boats.
This street, broad and uncluttered by traffic, is lined with Georgian and Victorian houses, and dominated by the splendid Victorian clock tower at the far end.
The boats on view here are typical of the rowing gigs used before the advent of diesel engines - sturdy and seaworthy, and often with their middle thwarts missing to leave space for the enormous seine
South Parade was deserted when the Frith photographer called.
This is the same yachtsman as in photograph No 61998, clearly there to add an extra dynamic to the photographs (note that he is looking underneath the boom, and the boat is actually moored).
Standing beside the pier, it housed Louis Tussaud's Waxworks, a major attraction in this area. On the left of the picture we can see the boating lake.
Bucklers Hard and the Beaulieu River are now visited regularly by yachtsmen who are fond of the old anchorage.
Across the broad expanse of the High Street is the portico of the Town Hall, which was rebuilt in 1790.
Many of the inns along the broads contain the word 'Ferry', commemorating long-gone crossing points. The ferries were often run by the innkeepers themselves, who benefited from the extra trade.
The front facade of the Palace Hotel appears on the left of the photograph with the pier stretching away out to sea. The boating lake may also be seen.
This bridge is owned by the Drainage Commissioners, and has been rebuilt to give the river two feet more room.
The broad High Street, once the site of the market established under a charter from Edward I, was, at the turn of the last century, still very much a rendezvous for the cattle and sheep farmers of the
Barricane Beach is behind the camera, and we see the broad expanse of Woolacombe sands stretching away south towards Croyde.
Here we can see the River Bure.
Edward I made Helston an important regional stannary town, and its official Coinage Hall stood in this street until the early 1800s.
On the right, the warm, brown fletton brick tower of Sir Giles Scott's Roman Catholic church of Our Lady of the Assumption soars above the surrounding buildings lining the broad street.
The punt-like chain ferry still plies between Horning village and Woodbastwick Nature Reserve.
A view from near the Clarence Gate bridge at the southern end of the Boating Lake.
This view looks downstream to the Rush Cutters pub from the south bank. The boating business is still there; it is now called Hearts Cruises, and has a wider range of boats than in 1919.
An idyllic scene: flowers in the foreground, the lake and the boat house against a setting of trees and shrubs — but the chimney of Bank Hall Colliery is a reminder that we are in Burnley.
The rowing boat in this view is approaching the boat slide, the abutment of which is just visible on the far left. The huge weeping willow beyond is on a small island.
The Boating Lake, to the east of the pier, was always popular with children. Families would often hire deckchairs to sit and picnic beside the pool.
The boating lake did good business during the long hot summer of 1914.
