"I was a little concerned with several photographs being downloaded to our site just in case we were infringing on any copyright regulations. I contacted there H/O and spoke to a Mr. Nick Tomlinson who heads up the department and asked him to take a look on line at our site for his comments. Pleased to report that he is comfortable about the pics being downloaded and can see that there is no commercial gain intended, and it is just for our general interest and enjoyment of the historic time of our childhood in St Ann's. However he would appreciate an acknowledgement to "Picture the Past" for our source of information, for the pictures we have already downloaded and others we might want to in the future. They have a really great and interesting website where pictures are available for purchase. So on our behalf "Many Thanks" Picture the Past, for your continued support and understanding. Cheers.
