"Elderly man at fence - A summer afternoon in Surrey" - Upper Street, Shere, Surrey

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: May I ask you to spare a thought today for our hardest working Morning Mary who is recovering from a recent operation. This is perhaps one of the most challenging photographs we have ever posted. I will be amazed if you can provide us with any useful information. I have had these thoughts in the past however, and I have been proved wrong! The first person to name the man will be awarded a personalised tag and virtual sticky bun every day for a year.

In a show of investigative brilliance, Rory_Sherlock has identified this as Upper Street in Shere, Surrey, England. The modern StreetView is an exact match. In that, while the shed-like "Norton" building is gone, amazingly almost everything else in this shot lines up exactly. Apart from the man of course. Who, though perhaps a "Norton" of the signage, is not identified. Still, Rory_Sherlock can help himself to as many virtual sticky buns as he likes. As he points out that there were more than a few Masons living locally (including Harry Mason, builder of noted local bridge), one of whom "our" Mason may have been visiting. Whatever the case, it is clear that Shere remains a picturesque location for photographers and film-makers today...
