Images help - Calne, Trowbridge & Swindon
« on: Monday 25 April 11 09:58 BST (UK) »

For the Wilts OPC project, we are in need of an image of the War Memorials in Calne, Swindon and Trowbridge.  If anyone already has one which they would be happy to contribute to the project , or if anyone lives near enough to take a photograph at some point, I would be most grateful.  Thank you very much.

Hi there,

When I was looking for images for some of the Yahoo Wiltshire 100's groups that I moderate for, I found this site very useful:

http://www.geograph.org.uk/

As far as I can see all the images are Creative Commons, ie you can use them provided you attribute the photographer where you use their picture (I did that by linking back to the actual photo page on Geograph).

I did a search for Calne Memorial and found this link:

http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2228841

There is also a village website which may be useful:  http://www.calne.org.uk/

No immediate luck with Swindon, although there are many images of the town and you might find one if you carry on browsing through them...

Trowbridge Memorial produced this:

Town website:  http://www.trowbridge.gov.uk/

Hope this helps :)

Your OPC pages are fantastic by the way, I looked at a lot of them when I was looking for resources to post links to on the 100's groups, they really are very informative and interesting!

Regards,

Patricia

Why not contact Swindon library. They have a lot of photos on Flickr, maybe you would be able to use one;http://www.flickr.com/photos/swindonlocal/3696878221/in/set-72157620959490027

Patricia and youngtug,

Thank you both so much for taking the time to reply and for your kind comment about my parishes on the Wilts OPC site - I try hard!

You have both been a great help.  I knew Rootschat would come up trumps.

Regards to you both
