The Photo galleries are samples of the photos in our digital archive. We do not show many because we own very few that are totally copyright free.
Mike Edwards holds a considerable personal digital photo library of interest to anyone who has an interest in the local area and he kindly donates items for us to use. Our collection grows as local people donate them to the group.
These pages are a selection that show the significant buildings and sites in each village.
The photos form the basis of our regular exhibitions.
They are organised by these areas and themes.
Should you have any photographs that you might want to show than please contact us to discuss what and where it is best done.

There are many local lines that are abandoned. Some have since been converted to footpaths, others have houses on them and many are picked out in the landscape by the gates and uneven trails between surviving road bridges.
