Photographs
Photographs bring history to life, and these fascinating and in some cases rare images are no exception.
Note that these are only low-resolution images and hence unsuitable for printing off for a wall picture or poster. Higher resolution images of almost all of these photographs are available from Bailiffgate Museum. Just use the contact us option on the website to state your interest.( A contribution to museum funds will be invited to offset the cost of preparing your image).
