Last week we had a holiday in Wales staying at the smallholding we used to live in; we moved away in 2008. When we lived there we visited a recently established garden a couple of times: Norwood Gardens. It is now operating under new owners who, after discussions with them, expressed an interest is seeing some photos of the garden earlier in its life. Here are some of the results from our visit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a ‘Then and Now’ comparison of an arbour in the garden – drag the slider side to side to see the differences. Note the registration is less than perfect – I did not go there with copies of the 2005 photos with the intention of making direct comparisons:<\/p>\n\n\n

This comparison shows the view down the length of the gardens in 2005 and 2023. This is not a direct ‘same place’ comparison but just a similar view from a nearby location.<\/p>\n
