Stonehenge 1875 family photo may be earliest at monument

May 15,2023 10:31 pm

The Photograph of the Routh family enjoying A Day out at Stonehenge in 1875 was sent in by descendants

An 1875 photograph of A Family dressed in finery enjoying A Day out at Stonehenge may be the earliest such snap taken at The Monument .

English Heritage asked people to send in their pictures to mark 100 years of public ownership of The Stones .

After sifting through More Than 1,000 images historians said they believed The Photograph of Isabel, Maud and Robert Routh was the oldest.

It will be part of a new exhibition of personal photos titled Your Stonehenge .

Members of the Routh family enjoying a picnic with Champagne at Stonehenge

One picture shows The Group sitting on The Stones with a picnic rug and what appears to be a bottle of Champagne.

In another, some of them are in a horse-drawn carriage.

"They're wearing fashionable outfits and hats," said English Heritage historian Susan Greaney.

"Right up until the 1920s and '30s people did dress up for days out like this, in their Sunday Best , suits and hats. "

This photo by Nan Noble is of her brother John and Aunt Nell. She Said The Stones were "our private playground" where they played tag and hide-and-seek Women in 1932 dressed up for A Day out at The Monument

The Exhibition shows how photography has Changed - illustrated by "the way that people pose" and how "their faces have got closer to the camera until they are taking a picture of themselves More Than they are of Stonehenge ", said Ms Greaney.

English Heritage is now asking people to get In Touch if they know of an earlier family snap at Stonehenge .

The earliest known photograph of Stonehenge , not featuring A Family , is thought to date from 1853 - 22 years earlier.

Richard Woodman-Bailey visited Stonehenge during The School holidays in the 1950s when his father was the senior architect responsible for ancient monuments in England and Wales and took personal charge of The Work at Stonehenge The Olivers from Cornwall on their annual camping holiday in 1962 - Michael , Robert with Teddy, Mum and Carolyn all "dressed in our finest camping clothes and Clarks sandals" Suzie Deaves' family was able to walk around and sit on The Stones in 1967 This picture was taken in 1970 when access to The Monument was still open Bikers enjoying A Day at Stonehenge in 1993

The Most recent photo in The Exhibition was taken by renowned photographer and guest curator of The Exhibition , Martin Parr , at the 2019 Autumn Equinox.

It features an unknown couple kissing while taking a selfie against the backdrop of The Stones .

Mr Parr chose 10 of the images in The Exhibition and said he hoped to track down the couple in his picture.

He said the photographs people sent in "really show what The Stones mean to people and how our relationship with a site like Stonehenge has Changed and yet stayed the same through Time ".

Photographer Martin Parr hopes to track down the couple in this photo he took earlier this year

Your Stonehenge - 150 years of personal photos runs from 12 December to late August 2020.
