[Stones] Inspired by Stonehenge

[Gerald Ponting]

Thanks for that, Littlestone.
If you read the full article you will find that the photos of the 
'Bogles' at  Stonehenge in 1966 were taken by Austin Underwood - he was 
one of my teachers when at school in Salisbury. He lived at Amesbury, 
was active in local politics, and often had his photographs published in 
the local press.
Must get to the Salisbury exhibition.
