A Memory of Stonehenge.
Great Collection!
I have scratched my head over a few of these, date-wise, but this one isn't in question.
Central in the picture we see the outside of the formidable West Trilithon, spanking clean and completely shorn of its mantle of lichen. The reason is, it lay on that side for nigh-on 160 years, having collapsed in a gale on 3 January 1797. (The great pit that Treasure Hunters had dug at its base didn't help matters either!) Anyway, with enormous National publicity, Richard Atkinson & Co carefully lifted it back into place 1959, which makes this photo at least 1960.
Best Wishes,
ND Wiseman
