Trench Ghosts part 5 – The Somme – High Wood and Courcelette
A couple of ones that nearly got away, I forgot I’d done the High Wood one until a few minutes ago when someone asked so this makes sense. The Courcelette one is appropriate for today (15th September 1916/2016) High Wood © Nick Stone 2016 IWM/Google, High Wood...
Trench Ghosts part 4
Langemark A few trench ghosts I did last week then got distracted and forgot about. One of Langemark and one of the Sugarloaf salient at Fromelles. The Langemark rephoto leaps out straight away. It’s also familiar to anyone that’s ever visited the German...
WW1: Aerial Trench Ghosts Part 3 – Lens
Someone asked if I’d done any Loos aerials, I hadn’t, it’s not an area I’m hugely familiar with, it does tend to get forgotten in between all the noise about the Battle of the Somme and The Ypres Salient. There’s plenty of front in...
Blitz Ghosts: Church of St Julian Norwich

Blitz Ghosts: Aylsham Road

Ghosts: Norwich Market & the Garnet Wolseley
