A series of views of rural England are presented to-day. They range from the far South to the Cumberland border. On the top left is a picture of the ancient oast house at Dode, near Great Buckland, in Kent. Dode never recovered from the effect the Black Death in the fourteenth century. Below this is a scene at Langdon, North Yorkshire. Sheep are changing pasture by leaping over a stone Wall. The two pictures on the right are from Suffolk. In one a dairymaid at Bawdsey is carrying milk to a thatched dairy. The peaceful village street scene is in the village of Stoke-by-Clare. Inset is a picture of extraordinary interest. The stone-chipper is one of the last two flint-knappers of Brandon, Suffolk. This industry is the oldest in England, and has been carried on since the Stone Age. Even in these days of cartridges a few flints are still required for natives who cannot obtain modern firearms, and for a few English sportsmen.
