Guess where this old picture of one of Dorset's most photographed scenes was taken
Put your knowledge of Dorset to the test and see if you can identify where this old photo was taken.
It's of one of the most photographed spots in Dorset.
And it was taken in a village close to Weymouth.
Can you tell where it is?
You did well if you guessed that this is a picture of the mill pond at Sutton Poyntz.
The chimney pictured in the old photograph by Weymouth photographer Edwin Seward was part of the village’s pumping station and dates from 1897.
By the 1950s some of the cottages were in poor repair and were rebuilt.
Here's the exact same scene of the pretty mill pond at Sutton Poyntz.
