Lattice Radio Mast you will find many albeit less 'engineered' structures in gardens of this era when radio listening was by low selectivity receivers, sometimes 'crystal sets' trying to receive London 2LO or other continental radio stations. A wire was attached to the top then either to another such 'pole, tower or mast' then the radio set where a group of people would sit around it's glowing vacume tube valves with headphones on to listen. |

This is Holy Trinity Church in West Street Fareham, Hampshire. It was built in 1835 and the spire was added in 1842. It looks a little different today as the spire was removed in 1992 as it had deteriorated beyond economical repair. If you look up the Church's website and click on the historical maps, it shows the tennis courts to the west, which are clearly visible in this photograph. |

This Holy Trinity Church in West Street Fareham, Hampshire. It looks a little different today as the spire was removed some years ago. If you look up the Church's website and click on the historical maps, it shows the tennis courts to the west, which are clearly visible in this photograph. |

Well done Sweet Pete in getting the location of this photo. Many of us have tried to locate this one and failed and you have found the resolution. As an aside I was in the area on 16th October and took the enclosed photographs and failed to make the connection. This one could have been anywhere and turns out to be Fareham. Once again well done. |

Could this be a war memorial, perhaps it would help with identifying? |

Yes, this is the memorial erected in 1921 to the memory of the men of Fareham that gave their lives in the 1914-18 war and it sits before the entrance to the Holy Trinity Church. |

I can't seem to locate this church on the Great West Rd or on the Uxbridge road if it's part of the same film. |

You won't find it there! This is the Holy Trinity Church in Fareham. |

At least 7 tennis courts here - is it a club of some sort. I thought perhaps Queens or Wimbledon. Wimbledon has a tram line. |

These are the Fareham parish tennis courts which were built on in the 1960's |

Wd it be fair to describe this as a fleche (grave accent on first e)? Never known of a detached one like this. Normally on roof, like Coventry Cathedral and many modern square RC churches. |

On close inspection it looks more like an aerial (radio?)of some description. |

They are BBC radio transmitters which were erected circa 1931. |

Tram lines |

I can't see any overhead wires, which suggests this must be within the London County Council area (conduit current collection) |

Definitely no overhead - and no conduit obvious either. Street railway. Not many of these in UK- WCPR, Westward Ho! demolished by the era of aerial photography, where else? |

mannidaze, if these were LCC tram lines the central conduit would normally be visible. However, there were actually some later extensions to LCC lines within the LCC boundary, and these had overhead wires, and not conduit. |

Yes, these are tram lines and the service was run by the Provincial Tram Company. This was originally a horse drawn service between Fareham and Gosport. In the picture I cannot see any overhead lines (the trams were electrified in 1906) and it looks to me as though the tracks have been removed and what you can see is actually the mark left on the road. The tram ran until 1929 so I'm guessing this photo is post 1929. |

Not sure, but think this is very possibly St Lawrence, Brentford High Street. The Old-Maps are pretty crippled now, but the National Library of SDcotland has a decent image of the 1:1056 1890s map. |

Possibly not Hounslow. If those are tram tracks there do not appear to be any overhead wires,which means it must be within the London County Council area, where conduit current collection was employed, whereas at the time this photo was taken the Hounslow area was served by London United Tramways with conventional overhead collection. |
