THE IMPORTANCE OF OLD PICTURES
The Heritage Society is grateful to Pat Lovering for leaving her unique collection of pictures and documents to the society. We also appreciate the many local people who have given their images over the years, we have the largest picture accessible collection in the local area which are free to view.
Some of the images are available for purchase, these come as digital downloads which you can print yourself. It is important to note that we release the images for non-commercial use, these cannot be placed on a website, facebook or any media without our permission. The purchase of the images is for research only.

We are always on the lookout for pictures of old Houghton to include in our archive, send us an email with details for us to have a look at to see if they are suitable to display on our archive. If you would like to contact us about any image in our collection or have photographs suitable to add to the collection our email address is info@hrhs.org.uk
