July 2018 to match the 1985 photos

This page shows thumbnails for some photographs that we have taken recently (July 2018) to match as far as possible the 1985 photos from Rushmoor Borough Council. Given the intervening years growth we have tried to match the photos as closely as possible.

5 - From the Croft Lane path looking south to the Brickfields estate, the four manhole covers for the oil separator cannot be seen.

These photos from 2018, some thirty three years on from the 1985 originals show that many of planted trees are very, very large casting the pond into quite deep shadow. Another page from July 2019 show the same views after the works.
