We are very grateful to Elsenham Village History Society. They have given us 38 high-quality colour photos of most of Henham (not including Little Henham nor Pledgdon). These were thought to be taken from a low-flying helicopter in about 1981 but Coopers Hall garage carries a date of 1983. We need to make further enquiries.

You can click on any image to get a link to a much larger photo. Be patient if you wish to download a personal copy, they range from 4+Mb - 7.6Mb.

I have arranged the images so that they are in the numerical sequence of the original film so the page indicates the route of the helicopter.
