Pond Farm is one of the lost farms on Salisbury Plain. It was an active farm until about 1910, albeit its piece was disturbed by the summer regimental camps which took place there.
Then it became part of the artillery range on a permanent basis. Occupants moved out and farming ceased.
Here we merge two pictures. One dates from the Edwardian era and is, of course, black and white and shows the farm in its remote setting.
The second dates from 1977 which at 38 years ago is hardly now, but these days there is no public access to the area. Back then it was possible to recognise the area as the same. The 1977 picture is in colour and no doubt it looks much the same today.
The pictures should merge, one into the other, every few seconds. There are arrows to click if you feel a need to speed things up.
