Our photo library has grown to massive proprtions over the years. Just how massive became obvious when we began assembling the images for this website. Unfortunately, much of it is uncatalogued and few of the images are matched to their talented photographers.

We want to properly credit the skill, dedication and generosity of the people who created this rich visual record.  To do that we need your help and indulgence.  If you recognise some of your photographs,  please contact us, either by phone on 01637 860717 or using the contact form. If we don't already know you then we may need to verify your ownership of the photos, but we promise to be cooperative.

Over time we hope to credit all of the images on the site, and also provide links to your portfolios or websites on this page.

We have no intention of infringing any copyrights.  If you own the copyright to any image and object to our use of it, please understand that we have done so by accident. Any such image will be removed at your request.
