Photos taken by Brian Robinson In July 1969
Brian has sent us many photos to use on the site, this set of photos was taken by him when he was lucky enough to fly over Stanley in 1969, it cost him around a pound which back then was a lot of money! You can see from the photos how the village has changed in the last 40 years. Special thanks to Brian for sharing these photos with us.
