My own photograph made with a Sigma 15-30mm lens now photographed in turn from a computer monitor and then processed ro resemble an old picture postcard (but the modern automobile rather spoils the effect). For the new picture I used a Nikkor 28mm f/2 lens.

B&W treatment.

I used a Sigma 15-30mm lens* at its widest on a Nikon D2Xs camera, and although the D2 has a crop sensor, the wild distortion of ultra wide angle is evident. I got rid of that lens because it was big and heavy and did crazy things with light. But before full frame digital cameras became available, it was the poor man's best option for something wider than a kit lens. *Sigma AF 15-30mm f/3.5-4.5 EX Aspherical DG

Rode, Somerset. In the 17th C. most goods were transported by pack horses, along dirt tracks, crossing rivers by fords or narrow bridges. Photographed with a Nikon D90 and Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G ED lens.

Langham House was formerly Road Hill House and was the scene of one of the most infamous murders of the 19th century. A sixteen-year old girl called Constance Kent was arrested for the murder of her three-year-old half-brother. The case was investigated by Detective Inspector Jack Whicher. Although released at her committal hearing, Kent later confessed and received the mandatory death sentence. This was commuted to life imprisonment, of which she served twenty years.

This pedimented feature is all that remains of a narrow rectangular building which housed two coal-fired boilers providing steam for Fussell's Brewery which once thrived in Rode. The cross keys emblem was the symbol of Fussell's, and there is a Cross Keys pub nearby which, unlike Fussell's, is still in business. The twin arches were presumably for ventilation; however they were bricked up when the second boiler was installed. The blind arch at the base probably housed a tap - water, not beer - which would have been handy if your horse needed a drink after hauling a load of coal up from the Radstock coalfield.
