These are beautiful photographs. Thank you. And a beautiful part of the world. I've seen quite a lot of the UK, and when I visit from Australia I always spend some time in the countryside.

Brighton

I was in England the first time in my life, with my class and so we visit Brighton, because my teacher lived their.
He tell us a lot about the buildings, the history and the people from Brighton.
Itīs true a lovely small village.
I visited also the Royal Pavillion, the Brighton Pier (Palace Pier) and Brighton Marina.
I hope i become the chance to go for a second time to England!

Oldham

I now live on the south coast - did the Normal Tebbit thing and got on my bike to find work. I loved Oldham, especially when I'd left it!! Its history is all its got left now - if in doubt read about the Mills, the people and what it was really like. Grim? Aye it was, but it had soul. I lived there from 1956 till about 1980 but visited my Mum and Dad in Derker (both gone now) and it always saddened me to see what it had become - but you get what you pay for and the local council is full of outsiders with no interest in the town - its either promoting their party or their race. Remember the old motto - Dare to be Wise, what have we now a stupid corporate logo - sad, very sad.

Travelled all around the world with work and there is no other country in the world I'd rather be. As a Northern Irish native, I can say the people are the friendliest, most hospitable and sincere you will ever meet. Well worth a visit for those whow are curious and want to see spectacular coastline....

Oldham

all the pubs i used to go to in the 1970s have gone or been ruined. i left oldham in 1977 and find it depressing to see how it's gone downhill since

i used to love the cosy rooms in the bath hotel on union street

what hapened to the tripe sellers on oldham market? in fact what hapened to oldham market? it used to be great. now there's little left of it

Preston

In 1980, at the age of 29, I left dreary old Preston to start a new life in, sunny Australia. We've lived in WA ever since, but I realised many years ago that the old saying, 'you an take the lass out of Lancashire, but you can't take Lancashire out of the lass' is absolutely true in my case. Not a day goes by that I don't regret leaving the friendly, busy, interesting and historical, town of my upbringing. I would return in a flash if my sons and their families ever decided to 'go home'. Some ignorant folk appear to think that the best way to avoid problems in Preston is to move away, or stay put and complain about everything they don't like. Why not try to improve things if you can, or learn to live with the ones that you can't alter? Preston has so much going for it, my remaining family members have a nice life there, enjoying the leafy suburban lifestyle, vibrant inner-city nightlife, and close proximity to the countryside and Fylde coast. What more could anyone want? How I miss it all. (Oh, and the football team ain't doing too bad either!)

visiting the likes of York, Chester, Oxford and Cambridge makes you think how lucky we are. Disney might have a place in time but these places are timeless and priceless and just cant be replaced by plastic replicas

Oldham

I have just returned to my home in Australia after visiting my home town of Oldham and feel physically sick at what the town as become. Where is the Oldham I spent so very many happy years from birth to retirement, gone forever I believe. O K so the weather has a lot to do with how peope feel but honestly I very rarely saw a smile on people's faces, the streets and buildings were dirty, the shop assistants were without manners and the number of young girls pushing prams was disgusting. Is it easier to get pregnant and get a house than it is to work for one. I am so glad I am at the age I am and know that I had a lovely childhood, teenage years and raised a family before the bottom fell out of Oldham. I feel so sorry for the many good people that are still living there and cannot get out.

Preston

I was born in preston and I'll probably die here, unless I win the lottl LOL. Preston used to be a great town. back in the 60' when we had the church processions at easter, there was a better community spirit then. The community spirti seems to be fading away. Preston is a dump. me and the wife go to Devon each year and it isvery nice and clean. when we return and as soon as we leave the motorway at the tickled trout there is litter everywhere then when you reach New Hall Lane you see all the shuttered shop fronts. it looks like Beirut (spelling?). it is no wonder people find it depressing It is time the council got their act together and sorted preston out and they should get the yobbo's out of bed in a morning to clean up.

London

I've been in London for a sole day, it was quick as a visit. Yes it's a busy city !! But uncomparable to any other city. As I'm interested in history, London has a rich and remarkable heritage.
