ENGLAND

No political point, but around three quarters of our stock was shot in England! Click here for lots of topographical pictures. The rest is in other sections...
RH/14S1B/3

Glencoe, Highland, Scotland.

Conwy Castle, Gwynedd, Wales. Irish harpist at Blarney Castle, Co Cork, Ireland

SCOTLAND

We have tried to persuade contributors that there is more to Scotland than haunting beauty and highland games, but without much success!
BP/58D/1

WALES

Magnificent hills in the north, rolling greenery in the middle and industrial history in the south. An underestimated country - but not by us.
LS/50C1/7

IRELAND

Europe's fastest developing economy. The place has changed astoundingly in the last twenty years - but somehow it still ends up looking like a theme park!
MSM/IR4B3/2

The Blaskets, Co Kerry, Ireland.

ISLANDS

Well, the whole thing is islands but there are hundreds of smaller ones all around, from the more obvious, like Man or Wight, to remote rocks (however famous), like the Skelligs or Fair Isle.
MD/IR8B2

Tower Bridge, London.

LONDON

Naturally we have Big Ben, Tower Bridge, St Paul's and the Wheel, like everyone else, but we do try to cover all the other things in the great city.
BS/E1/3F/17

HISTORY

We have the pictures, the knowledge, the books and the enthusiasm to provide accurate sets on subjects from pre-history to the present day. Try us. We like this sort of thing!

Hadrians Wall, Northumberland, England.
Rubbish bin
Allendale Tar Barrel Parade, Northumberland, England.

CUSTOMS

MISCELLANY

Every library has its 'general' files. No photographer can (or should) resist shooting whatever takes their fancy - but then they want us to shift them! We have some unusual categories.

Crowd watching street entertainer

BLACK & WHITE

We like b/w and deal successfully in it. The files do tend to be miscellaneous but are particularly copious on customs, bridges, Ireland, Lakes & Dales. There is history here going back to the fifties. And 'art' that makes book covers!

Slieve Bearnagh, Mourne Mountains, Co Down, Ulster.

PEOPLE

The people of the British Isles just leading their normal lives. These pictures are for editorial use only.
RF/MAN/1/10

Westminster Abbey, London.
