Picture Library Update


The Picture Library has now been up and running for several weeks and there are now hundreds of old photos at:
I hope to add many more in the following weeks and months. The total collection is also viewable by searching using 'Google Images' or by searching Flickr by entering the place (eg Honicknowle) or event you're interested in.
I think the library will make a great reference source not just for people interested in local history but also for teachers, researchers and genealogists etc.
Most picture librarys online seem to contain a list of photos available and then there's a charge before you can view the picture you're interested in. I hope by making these old pictures available through Flickr, it will make it much easier to search for and find what you're looking for.
Being interested in photography, the site also contains many photos I have taken recently of Plymouth and the surrounding areas. I hope that people will enjoy these also.
