Track Changes

Track Changes uses pairs of photographs to show how Wickhamford has altered over a period of about 135 years.  

The first four old photographs were kindly donated by Pauline Monks, the daughter of Tony (1928-1996) and Phyllis Brazier (1932-2022), after clearing out her mother's bungalow.
