Some photos from the 1950s:
http://www.francisfrith.com/sixpenny-handley/photos/
(Their site also suggests some books.)
The parish clerk may be able to help with the history:
http://www.opcdorset.com/SixpennyHandleyFiles/SixpennyHandley.htm
Googling suggests various sites for the history as well.

My sister sent me a good book about Cranborne Chase which gives lots of background info on the area around 6d Handley . It is called "Cranborne Chase" and was written by Desmond Hawkins, pub. by Gollancz in 1980. She paid £2.99 for it at a charity stall, but there are several copies on Amazon. The book says that much of the village was burned down in 1892, the resulting insurance payouts leading to the envious saying " Handley men wear two waistcoats." The book has quite a good bibliography.
If you need anything in particular photographed, I have to go down there in a couple of weeks and could have a look about.

Thanks for that guys, i have tried ordering francis frith collection but am not able to do it from australia they wont post here! a shame. I am talking with the parish clerk, so will ask her for any info too.
Fred, thanks for that tip, i will try and order the book from amazon, no there is nothing in particular yet that i would likephotographed, someone sent me a photo of the church where most of my ancestors were born, buried and married, which was lovely. But thanks anyway for your kind offer.

Hi Carol,
Just thought I'd mention that you won't get any photos earlier than the 1840s, as photography was not invented until around about then 
Cheers

Hi,
Dorset History centre are now offering prints (of various images from the archives) for sale; might be worth a quick look.
