More about this scene
This later view of the pond is worth comparing to the earlier photograph of the same scene. Horses have given way to the ubiquitous motor car, and the village is catering for the car-borne tourist. But the pond and the wooded nooks around Bonchurch are as great an attraction as they were for the Victorian visitor.
