Chew Valley Gazette: Our Mystery Photo this week shows a calm, peaceful scene. I wonder what you would see if you were standing in the photographer’s shoes in this day and age?
If you recognise the spot, and would like a mention in the Gazette, please contact the editor at [email protected] .
Last month’s Mystery Photos were given some time ago to the Harptrees History Society, but there was some dispute about their location. They were taken in 1968, at the time of the serious floods which affected villages along the Chew, including Pensford and Chew Magna. It was at first thought they were taken in Bishop Sutton, but residents of that village disagree! They tell us that they have not heard reports of flooding affecting the village that year and cannot recognise the scenes.
The best guess is that the photos may show the devastation in either Chew Stoke or Chew Magna. Can anyone help further?
If any readers have old pictures of people, places and events in the Chew Valley and Mendip area that they would like to see in the Gazette as a mystery photo, or that could be added to the Harptrees History Society’s archive, please email [email protected]
