EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph of Stonehenge offers a unique perspective on this ancient and mysterious monument. Taken in 1923, the image showcases not only the iconic stone circle to the lower left but also reveals a newly discovered section of the Stonehenge Avenue curving away to the right.
The discovery of this previously unknown portion of the avenue, made through meticulous aerial photography, sheds new light on the history and significance of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The original discovery of the Stonehenge Avenue by William Stukeley in 1723 was groundbreaking, but it wasn't until nearly 200 years later that this additional segment was brought to light.
Mr O.G.S. Crawford from the Ordnance Survey Office in Southampton provides valuable insights into this find, offering a glimpse into how technology and innovation continue to enhance our understanding of archaeological sites like Stonehenge. This photograph serves as a testament to human curiosity and determination in uncovering secrets buried beneath layers of time.
