Here we are looking from the 'island' back to the outer ward of the castle, with the access lane down the valley on the left. The building is now a café.

The Angel Hotel (offering Good Stabling and Garage) was knocked down and replaced by a cinema. This in turn has become a nightclub. A pub built next door - The Bell - is now derelict.

Nearly 5 inches fell; water cascaded down the ghylls dragging huge boulders in its wake, causing over £100,000 worth of damage to Ilkley.

The first stage of the Otley to Skipton Railway reached Ilkley on 1 August 1865 - the town was decorated with bunting, and merrymaking continued day and night.

This view looks down the High Street towards the clock tower. This was built as a market hall and lock up, or temporary prison, in 1842, but in 1870 the clocktower, belfry and spire were added.

The main road leads down past Holy Trinity church, which was built in 1836. The scene is similar today but the road is very busy with motor traffic.

Here we see a rural scene in a fold of the Downs - now much more wooded and obscured by trees. A stack yard is in the foreground, with round and rectangular corn ricks.

The reality is more down to earth.

Here we see the heart of what many claim is Kent's prettiest village: the tower of its 15th-century flintstone church of St Mary's looks down on this spacious square lined with half-timbered Tudor and

A familiar sight for those heading to or from Eastbourne along the A27 as it passes north of the South Downs escarpment is the Long Man of Wilmington, a gigantic chalk figure of a man holding 250ft-long

By 1955, everything appears to have settled down, and pleasure craft and punts are using the boat yards, landing stages, riverside cafes and the garden to the Old Falcon Inn (left).

Further down, towards Bancroft and Nightingale Road, the tannery and other industrial works poured their waste into the river. Only the lavender works may have offset the obnoxious smell of the Hiz!

Terraces extend down Mallams, and houses have reached Modbury Mead (centre).

Although the railway station opened in 1847 some 200 yards south of the Cock Hotel crossroads, development did not really get under way here until the Epsom Downs line opened in 1865, and new station

Here, looking down Main Street towards St Mary's Church with its horse mounting steps, we see the white Imperial Cottage (left). The chestnut tree has been removed, giving a view of Jubb's Farm.

The Victory Inn can be seen down the street, and round the corner, not visible in this picture, is The Bugle, Hamble's famous riverside inn, which probably dates from the 12th century.

Church House (down to the left) dates from 1694, but Grassington's boom time was in the 18th century, when a Klondike rush of workers from Derbyshire and Cornwall came to work the lead mines - and the

It was on the sands here that the French invasion army laid down its arms — with the exception of 25 who could not attend due to temporary incapacity (they were ill or probably drunk on looted

The Working Men's Club is now at The Lodge, Welton Road, just out of sight to the left down Abbey Street.

It sits snugly in the Downs near to the Ridgeway and Avebury stone circle.

The town enjoys a prosperity founded on more than its market and agricultural traditions, for engineering works were established here in Victorian times; Dereham grew into one of the busiest centres of

Down Commercial Street is the Market House, with a clock tower built by John Francis Basset in 1866. The Bassets of Tehidy were important mineral lords in this once-great copper and tin mining centre.

This long straggling village, in the centre of the old tin mining district, sits on a steep hill running down to the Tamar. We are at the bottom of Fore Street looking towards Newbridge Hill.
