Although I no longer recall the name of the particular farm where we set up camp, I do remember our troop carrying out a good turn for the farmer. We were asked to demolish one... [more]

Dorchester Photographic Memories
Close to the Top o'Town, Dorset's most famous son is commemorated in this life-size bronze statue by Eric Kennington, set on a Portland stone plinth. Unveiled by Sir James Barrie in 1931, the statue shows Hardy seated and dressed for the country, wearing a jacket and leather gaiters, with his hat on his knee. Around the figure are plants and animals, symbolizing Hardy's love for his native countryside.

The river runs alongside the right of the churchyard. The church building includes parts of an 11th-century pre-Norman church, with further additions being spread over the next eight hundred years. In the background is the war memorial and several thatched cottages . The church of St Mary was recently damaged by flooding.

This footbridge is still to be found in the village. The young man may be delivering post, judging by his bag. He is apparently travelling on two wheels, as he is wearing bicycle clips. His straw boater is in the fashion of the time.
