Walk-abouts (or walk-arounds, or walkarounds, or even walkrounds) are means of showing to people who are located remotely what certain locations or certin items (particularly buildings, ships, aircraft, trains, cars) look like -- both generally and in detail. Today, there are entire websites devoted to walk-abouts of, particularly, vintage means of transport, as shown by the links.

In this particular instance, a Parish Council in Britain (a semi-official local government unit, of which several dozen may exist within a District Council's territory, and thus the smallest unit of local givernment in the UK) is providing photos to those who are away from its area so that they can gain an impression of what the locality looks like and how it would change if a town planning proposal were to go ahead.
