Picture 1 – is that a house or hay rick with the ladders against it?

Picture 2 – the car looks to be from the 1920’s. How was this aerial view achieved?

Picture 3 – where is this sheep field?

Picture 4 – the picture looks old, but the scene hasn’t changed much

Picture 5 – note the football goal in the distance

Picture 6 – these two houses have changed appearance and use since this photo was taken.

  1. Hi Alex,

    Fantastic photos!

    I have attached 4 photos – Pic’s 1 to 4 that are similar. They were taken in 2010

    No. 1 The photo was taken from what is now Bob and Jane Sheldon’s garden looking down Beck lane. It is a straw stack/hay rick.

    No. 2 The photo was taken from the church tower looking down Beck Lane. I believe the tower pinnacle is showing in the bottom left corner [It is now covered with lead]. The car is standing in what is now the garden of Edmund’s house at the bottom of Beck lane. Pic 1,2 & 3

    No. 3 The sheep field is opposite the church / Mackrill’s house where the bungalows and house now stand. The photo was probably taken from the front of Mackrill’s house, the one on the left in photo 4.

    No. 4 Was again taken from the church tower. Pic 1 was taken from the same place in 2010

    No. 5 I believe the picture was taken on the footpath from the back of the church to the middle of Beck lane.

    No. 6 The Wheel hasn’t changed a great deal apart from the right hand door!

    Have you got the original photos? I would love to study them close up.

    regards

    Trevor
