All news is welcome, I suspect Jacques and Blick Mead would have the 'controversy discussion', as the future of the long/short tunnel is discussed (endlessly) by those in power. I don't comment but once every decade on here, so I hope I am allowed a question: can you explain please I'm obviously missing something. I suppose it was just picking up two news items for me Lefturn....... "Blick Mead site connects the early hunter gatherer groups returning to Britain after the Ice Age to the Stonehenge area, all the way through to the Neolithic in the late 5th Millennium BC. "But our only chance to find out about the earliest chapter of Britain's history could be wrecked if the tunnel goes ahead." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-30540914 According to others the Blick Mead site is over a kilometre away from Stonehenge and hardly likely to be affected. Given the visitation by Icomos and Unesco last week, their interest will not necessarily be with the wider landscape though, Stonehenge stone circle sits in its landscape the sole extant visible monument for tourists to see. http://www.westerndailypress.c[...]ory-28064091-detail/story.html So if you believe the news you read, or put it to one side till the next 'newsworthy' item comes along, they are like waves rolling up to the shore, all important at the time but they slip once more back into the sea. And, if I was to venture an opinion, quite like this bit of news, the tunnel will cost over a billion pounds to build, but there are other options of course...... http://www.westerndailypress.c[...]ory-28020775-detail/story.html Reply | with quote |  12th November 2015ce 07:20 In reply to: Re: CULINARY HABITS OF THE STONEHENGE BUILDERS (Lefturn)2 replies: Re: CULINARY HABITS OF THE STONEHENGE BUILDERS (Lefturn) Re: CULINARY HABITS OF THE STONEHENGE BUILDERS (ron) |
