The archive

The rest of this site is computed from today’s record. This page is the paper the record grew out of: photographs, survey maps and reports held by public archives, each placed beside the ditch, reservoir or river it shows. The archive’s own words carry the title and the credit; ours say what the picture does, and does not, let you conclude.
