Setley Gravel Pit 1909-1938

maps-composite-1909

By 1909/1910 the main gravel pit has extended slightly further south and none of it is shown as over-grown. Maps from the 1930’s (1930,1938) were supposedly based on mapping in 1919 but the 1938 map looks remarkably similar to those from 1909/10. Assuming that they remained accurate, there was no pond at Setley before or following World War 1, and probably none before World War 2.
