Hi Nick
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Coincidentally I went past there on 30 August, and briefly popped in the visitor centre. I liked the mud huts..
As for the bypass / tunnel, perhaps a big fence would be more cost effective so that people can't slow up to take a look. There isn't really a problem with traffic volume!
Best Wishes, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!

Dear Nick,

Stonehenge! in village of Avebury in Wiltshire
I don't know if the tunnel is really necesary. But I hope the tunnel does not damage the unique megalithic monuments!
Interesting picture!

Now then - I think this is my back garden in Shropshire. If you wait for a couple of days for the rain to stop, I'll get a lovely photo for you, dear Nick. As for the tunnel - I'll let some moles free so they can get to work, but I do hope that my installation won't collapse. That wouldn't be a bad thing though. I'm fed up with locals AND tourists climbing my garden fences to take a look, and with their iPhones and collapsible Samsungs. They are becoming a mighty pest. ;-)))

I cannot believe that this building site of stored aerated concrete blocks taken from nearby badly built schools where they have been replaced by portacabins should generate such interest. Now to learn that your back garden has been extended to accommodate your own stored blocks will generate even more comment. I've a sinking suspicion this will not end well ~~~~

I'll give it 20 years and then it'll just crumble to dust. Now - I favour polystyrene blocks. What say you?

Good idea but we will need planning permission first. We may find that it is a listed building and that nothing can be done that alters the structure and materials originally used. Of course we would then be free to appeal. First that will require a steering committee and maybe get the NT involved too and then there is the carbon emissions issue ~ need I tell more?

Oh I do so love a committee. At the final meeting everyone decides that nothing can be dome. ;-))

Think of all the reports that will need to be printed out and distributed ~~~ It will be a goldmine ~ come to think of it, masses of reports have already been printed, along with detailed plans for tunnels and cuttings, no one has suggested moving the stones so far ~ yes give it time. :))

When I first went there, about 30 years ago, you could still walk between the stones. The second time, 20 years ago, it was no longer possible.

In the early 1950's there were times when there used to be nobody there at all!
