The Overspill Project was kindly supported by TimePix who shared some amazing photographs of Langely estate being built. The photos, taken by Ordnance Survey for
the post-war survey, are affectionally known as ‘stick man photos’ as they depict an surveyor holding a grid refence board and making the exact point with a stick.
