Months ago, during the summer that never was, amateur photographers of all ages were encouraged to visit Basted Mill Open Space and use their skills “to capture evocatively the various moods and aspects” of the area.In all over 60 photographs were entered, and the difficult task of judging them was left to the Sevenoaks Chronicle’s chief photographer, Gary Francis.There were three categories: Adult, Secondary School, and Primary School, and finally a Winner and a Highly Commended entry were selected from each of these. Borough Green Public Library has kindly agreed to display all the entries in their entrance gallery in February 2009.
