If you were to ask people about the images that came to mind when Basingstoke was mentioned, I expect many would think of office blocks, shops, roundabouts, industrial and housing estates set within a thriving town.

However, if you ‘row back’ just a few miles from the town centre, there is a diverse range of landmarks, open spaces, activities and destinations for people to explore and enjoy; all set in the beautiful Hampshire countryside. Hampshire is known as Jane Austen country. Famous novels such as Pride & Prejudice were drafted from her home in Steventon, just 7 miles from Basingstoke, but a world away in many ways.

Earlier this week, our Director, David Hogg, gave an evening-long talk on the topic of Panorama Photography at Godalming Photographic Club in Surrey.

You may remember one of our blog posts a few months ago that documented a complex scaffolding installation in Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire?

Earlier in the year, Horizon Imaging was commissioned to produce two virtual tours for London-based student accommodation firm, The Stay Club.

The Stay Club own several sites across London, and they wanted to start with tours of their Camden and Willesden sites which are shown here.
