Photographer notes

Alexander Keiller (1889–1955) was an archaeologist and businessman who worked on the site at Avebury in Wiltshire. He used his wealth to acquire a total of 950 acres (3.8 km2) of land for preservation, conducted excavations, re-erected stones on the site, and created a museum to interpret the site. He founded the Morven Institute of Archeological Research. In 1943 he sold the Avebury property to the National Trust.

First of quite a few images of the wonderful restoration job funded by the BBC.
