Contributor's Photo Galleries
Most of the photos sent in since this website began in Jan 2011 have been included in sections appropriate to the content. However several people have supplied large numbers that I have not yet been able to allocate for one reason or another, and so this page was started in April 2015. Its a long process and may take a couple of months (... er, years!).
Some photos may also appear on other pages either now or later.
Clicking a thumbnail will display a larger photo in either a new window or new tab according to the settings of your computer browser.
If you can supply names &/or locations please e-mail.

Clive Wierzbicki
This large collection was supplied by Geraldine Wierzbicki via Dropbox in May 2014.Some of the larger photos seen by clicking Clive's thumbnails below display oddly - some turned 90˚, others flipped vertically. This does not appear to be a webpage error. The original film photos were scanned and uploaded to Dropbox then downloaded to my PC and maybe some part of all that has affected the images in some way - but why it affects only some large images but not the thumbnails is a mystery. Has anyone else experienced anything like this using Dropbox?
A few of these photos are displayed on other pages of the website.
