Frith Images
The Francis Frith Collection currently includes five photographs taken on Stanwell Moor in the 1950's. Around sixty years later I tried to stand in the same place as the original photographer to recreate those images. Access and traffic limited my set to just three, but they still give some idea of the change that has taken place. I've included the other two originals at the bottom of the page.
