epw024173 ENGLAND (1928). St Peter's Church, Uplyme, 1928

It was splendid to have the opportunity to visit Uplyme, to see the subject of this photograph on the ground. As you can see from the present day photographs not much has changed. There is new development in the surrounding area but it is not much in evidence in my photos.

I would imagine that the village school is as popular as ever but I wonder how the narrow roads cope when most children are ferried to school by car.

If you are in the area the location is worth a visit, even on a cold February day.

I believe this is Uplyme in Devon

I am so pleased to know the location of this photo which has eluded us since June. Thank you RichardW for getting this one.

Everything fits for Uplyme. The fenestration of the church is right. Mrs Ethelston's Church of England Primary School next door fits.

Dear all,



This one is a puzzler, hopefully someone will recognise the church eventually. The most recently-suggested grid-reference that puts this in Carlisle can't be substantiated so until anyone has a better suggestion...

Definitely not Tankersley Church, which has bell louvres at the top of the tower instead of a clock.

It looks a little like Tankersley Church, Tankersley Lane, Tankersley, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom

Why is this identified as Botchergate, Carlisle? It's nothing like.

Given the east - west orientation of most churches the picture was taken from S of SE.... therefore 11.20 would seem about right!

This is a close up shot of image number EPW024702.

Church with tower (crenellated) Farm next door may be manor house. Primary school next to church. Light coloured stone buildings - Cotswolds or similar?
