This photograph appeared in the Lowestoft Journal, 13th July 1935 and shows the menhir being lifted from its original location preparatory to road widening operations. It stood on the land of Mr. B. Edge of Stockton Old Hall. He supervised its removal assisted by Major S. E. Glendenning of the Norfolk Archeaological Society. When removed from the ground the stone was found to be six feet long and weighed approximately 3.5 tons. NB apologies for the poor quality of this photo! The original was VERY worn and I’ve enhanced it the best I could! B.W.

In recently found this old photograph of Stockton Stone in The Lowestoft Journal, February 1935. It shows the menhir deeply embedded in the ground in its original location before it was removed for road widening. The “huge gash” in the side as mentioned by Juamei in Field Notes can be plainly seen in this photograph and obviously predates the moving of the menhir.
