Badsey Society
Photographic Survey
1968 & 2008

Forty years after a major photographic survey was made of the village in May 1968, a second survey was undertaken in May 2008. Following an appeal for volunteers, a team of photographers took photos of every building in the parish. Aldington had not been included in the 1968 survey, but this was rectified for 2008. There were around 600 houses in Badsey in 1968 but, 40 years on, the number of houses has almost doubled and some no longer exist.

The discs have all the photos from both the 1968 and 2008 surveys, together with some aerial photos and earlier images. All the pictures are saved as high resolution jpeg images.
