A gravestone in the garden of Thomas Hardy's Max Gate. Max Gate, located on the outskirts of Dorchester in Dorset, England, was the home of renowned author Thomas Hardy.
Hardy designed and built the house for himself in 1885 and lived there until his death in 1928. In 1940, his sister bequeathed Max Gate to the National Trust, and it is now open to the public.

Hackbridge Park Hotel, in about 1920. This had formerly been
Hackbridge House, one of the larger houses beside the River Wandle, and the seat of the Goad family, who owned much of Hackbridge in the latter part of the 19th century. As an hotel, it was said to have a reputation as a lovers' weekend retreat.
In the Second World War it housed a searchlight battery, and afterwards became a Territorial Army Centre known as 'City House.
The building was demolished in 1970. It stood near Hackbridge Green, at the end where Corbet Close was and which is now newly developed.
