CAN anyone help identify the year this photo was taken?

This aerial shot of Dorchester was brought into our Dorchester office by Bill Barkes.

He bought it off eBay from a Belgian seller.

Mr Barkes thinks the photo may have been taken in the late 1800s.

He said: "I was looking for things on eBay to do with Dorchester.

"I'd like to know the date this was taken.

"The view is very different and the bit behind the Keep Military Museum on the left hand side has really changed.

"There doesn't seem to be a railway there going from Bristol to Weymouth."
