THE winner of a photo competition celebrating the best of Basingstoke has been chosen.

Lamb Brooks Solicitors, based in Winchester Street, ran a photography competition over the summer asking for Basingstoke’s best photos to celebrate the firm’s 200 years in the town.

The firm has announced the winner of the photography competition as Jon Steed of Dunsford Crescent, with his sunset shot on a country road just outside of Basingstoke, which is now on display at the firm’s office.

The photo is now displayed in the Victoria Street office reception, which is currently undergoing some refurbishment work.

Hannah Perryman, head of marketing at the firm, said: “This summer we have proudly sponsored one of the Sitting with Jane book benches, and it really inspired us to celebrate Basingstoke and its lovely, often unnoticed, beauty spots. “We have received lots of fantastic entries showing Basingstoke and the surrounding villages in completely differentiating ways.”
