Flatford Mill
This is the location where John Constable painted the Hay Wain. Off course I didn't have a horse and cart at the ready.
The Hay Wain is a painting by John Constable, finished in 1821, which depicts a rural scene on the River Stour between the English counties of Suffolk and Essex. It hangs in the National Gallery in London and is regarded as "Constable's most famous image.
Most of the scene remains pretty untouched, but there is no right hand channel anymore to the side of the trees.
The house on the left side of the painting belonged Willy Lott, a tenant farmer. Willy Lott's Cottage has survived to this day practically unaltered, but none of the trees in the original painting exist today.
