Miscellaneous collection

Collections core business is the places, buildings and people of the British Isles but we do have a large number of pictures (well about 50,000) in which the subject rather than the location is much more important. Eventually these will be on line but in the meantime most of them are still in old-fashioned filing cabinets. We will be happy to search, scan and e-mail low-res lightboxes whenever you like, absolutely free!

Below is a list of what we have. If you don’t see exactly what you want get in touch anyway. We can’t put everything on a list like this!
