Through your eyes: 150 years of Stonehenge – in pictures Last year, to celebrate 100 years since Stonehenge was given to the nation, English Heritage asked the public to share their photographs of the monument. ~ More than 1,000 pictures, taken from 1875 onwards, were sent in and 148 are now going on show at the site. ~ “It’s a fascinating look at the changing history of photography, posing, fashion, as well as Stonehenge,” says Susan Greaney, senior historian for English Heritage. ~ Some of the images are very poignant. ~ One shows a girl next to her 20-year-old brother in military uniform. “Sadly, this was the last time she saw him as he was killed in a bombing raid the following year,” says Greaney. ~ “The images show what an enormous part Stonehenge plays in people’s memories.”
