Where in Devon? Help us solve the mystery pictures.

For the last four years the Westcountry Studies Library has asked the public for help in putting names and places to some of their unidentified pictures.

This has been really successful and lots of the pictures have now been identified - thanks to you!

This year the Westcountry Studies Library has dug deep into its holdings again, and produced a new and exciting display of twenty-nine historic mystery pictures from the Library's collections. All the pictures feature something that we hope will help you identify the location - a bridge, a distinctive church, houses - or a mill!

Flickr logo - linkYou can see all the pictures online, by visiting our virtual exhibition on Flickr. If you have a Flickr or a Yahoo account, you can add your comments and suggestions to the pictures - but even if you don't have an account, you can still visit Flickr to see what suggestions other people are making.
