A Day Above Stamford - Zodiac Press
‘Flying over Stamford has given John the opportunity to photograph this unique town from an entirely different perspective to that which is familiar to those on the ground. Seen through a car windscreen, much of Stamford is hidden and disguised. It is easy to miss the narrow medieval lanes and alleys that still exist alongside Victorian and Georgian terraces.’
Lady Victoria Leatham, Burghley House, Stamford. |

A Day Above Rutland - Zodiac Press
‘How many of us have longed as children to soar through the air looking down on our homes and gardens?

How fortunate, then, that only a few months later this beautiful book of photographs was published enabling me to view at leisure the landscape of Rutland from the air. '
Laurence Howard, Lord-Lieutenant of Rutland. |

Now & Then Rutland - Zodiac Press
The majority of the old photographs used in Now & Then - Rutland were taken by Charles Henton at the time when the Great War (1914-1918), was raging in Europe. Charles carefully noted the exact time when he took a particular photograph and was patient to include both young and old Rutlanders. Today, many of the scenes are completely unchanged, others modernised beyond recognition. |
