Re-creation of a Francis Frith photograph c1955 at http://www.francisfrith.com/search/england/humberside/south+cave/photos/south+cave_s403002.htm On the left, the two trees have grown considerably; the door on the first house is now a window; the next house has been painted white; the telephone pole survives. On the right, the pavement has been extended (there are now houses behind what was a bank of earth); several newer houses have been built. There are also newer houses in the distance and there were no cars in the original photograph. Finding the appropriate position from which to take the photograph took several attempts, moving only a few inches between each exposure. A good deal of traffic dodging was also necessary, even though photographing on Christmas Day, which it would be unrealistic to attempt at almost any other time of year.
