I don't actually know, Roma - the source of many river is often a point of disagreement - you have as much chance of finding out as I do !

Hi Graham the source of The River Stour is Stourhead on the Somerset,Dorset and Wiltshire borders.Great photos by the way.Greetings from Somerset.

I'm not sure, Roma - the lake is artificial - it might have been formed by a dam on the river (or stream) - but it must be around there, as Pete kindly told us.

Hi Graham and Roma, Stourhead Lake is in a valley and is indeed dammed and several springs from the surrounding hills feed the lake,which then flows out forming the River Stour.Here is a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Stour,_Dorset which gives you loads of info.Regards Pete

I've never been out to Shaftesbury, Roma - Gold Hill is so photographed I don't think I could add much to what is already there - Shaston - you researches are ahead of mine! :)

hi Roma - sorry to be slow replying, I've been away from PC - you might find thers's rather more traffic than in Thomas Hardy's day, but the atmosphere is still there if you can find a quiet spot.

London has changesd a lot more than Dorset Roma (more of it was flattened by bombs during WWII for a start) - and of course most of Dickens is set a little earlier than Hardy - there are a few places where you get a vague a feel of old London, but very few.

I was just going to ask when you were going to start showing us these places when I saw that you had, Roma :)- please post more pictures of the places you know, so I can visualise what you say :)
