There is also 50 ancient and historical maps of the district covering 5 centuries and many newly sourced original documents related to the district that were discovered during research by this site.
All in all, a massive 800 photos - each with its own descriptive narrative - which is almost a pictorial history and 'walkabout' of the district in itself, without putting your shoes on! We don't just take pictures - we tell the story behind the pictures.
These galleries are a genuine attempt to create a visual history of the district for posterity and any contributions - are most welcome. So if you have a photo of or about the area that you think is special and want to share it with the world let us know and we'll fix it for you.
