I can't think what cereal crop would be left in a stack over winter and threshed in spring. Is the date of the photo definite? The lane is comprehensively blocked with bags of the end product. Notice that all of the corrugated iron buildings are camouflaged.	clippedwings	Wednesday 5th of February 2014 11:05:26 AM
Hi Class31, thanks for the details. You may be interested to know that the original Aerofilms Ltd Register entry reads "Hay making Nr. Bristol" - a bit odd! We'll update the catalogue and post the new data here in due course. Yours, Katy Britain from Above Cataloguing Team Leader	Katy Whitaker	Tuesday 7th of January 2014 02:58:51 PM
If this were a September photo I would have thought that the intense activity would be threshing corn after harvest but this is an April photo. Does anyone know what activity is taking place?	Class31	Thursday 19th of December 2013 09:03:16 PM
EAW015069 is the adjoining photo taken on the same day. I thought I could see a river through the trees in this photo. I didn't have far to look. It's interesting that there is a Chapel Pill in both photos. They are different ones but with the same name only a few miles apart.	Class31	Thursday 19th of December 2013 08:57:59 PM
View is looking north west.	Class31	Thursday 19th of December 2013 08:51:21 PM
