Avebury, The Stones 1899
Photo ref:

More about this scene
The same scene viewed some 60 years earlier than photograph No A80019 (page 12-13) presents a neglected view of the stones. Fortunately, Alexander Keiller (of marmalade fame!) bought the site in 1934 to save it for the nation. The site was extensively 'tidied' and serious archaeological work began. The Avebury we see today owes its survival to these excavations. During the 1940s Avebury was handed over to the National Trust, and it is now a World Heritage site.
