This site has been recommended by Keith Sherwood

Hi,
I've just done a search on Google putting in the word "Ickleton", which brought up a wonderful website<

www.ickletonvillage.co.uk

On this if you click on "Photo Archive" you get a list of nearly 80 photos, which you can view, some as early as 1879; a Joseph Baynes proudly poses in a bright red military uniform.  No pictures of what I wanted, but there are some wonderful snaps from the past there - Saxon Lodge does actually appear in the distance in a couple of them.  Maybe other villages have similar excellent sites.
Keith

Thanks Keith !
