Just in case any of you haven't written any letters of protest - perhaps you will be inspired after you see the animation of the henges as they will be in the future - surrounded by large water-filled holes?

I don't remember seeing this before so I hope people who are already familiar with it won't mind me bringing it to the attention of others.

The more the merrier. Anything that helps get the message out there. I live in Thornborough and the last thing I want is lakes. This is farming country and probably has been since the Neolithic. If you want lakes go to Windermere

That's an interesting animation. There's loads of ex-gravelpit lakes down the Al that way already.

I don't know if this HA protest outside Manchester Museum is going ahead but I had a look at the exhibition gatefold leaflet and noticed that the carved stone ball that they purport to have (well described by Dorothy Marshall in the mid-70's, is not mentioned in any way, shape or form. This adds weight to my (unproven) supposition that they've actually lost or mislaid it.

I think we should be told !

Thanks R, Joanne and myself did that but HA did not want animations on the website so FoT have got it.
