Photo Galleries

We're always pleased to receive photos of a village event for including in the galleries section, especially if it's one of the many events we can't get to ourselves (and as long as the images are reasonably sharp). To send photos, please include them as attachments in an email addressed to enquiries@whiteparish.co.uk.

30th August: Whiteparish Garden & Hobbies Show (photos: John Herrett)
Thanks to John for providing these selected pictures taken at the Garden & Hobbies Show. It's really good to have more evidence of village events getting back to a normal pattern, after the COVID-19 disruptions of the previous two years.

3rd June: Platinum Jubilee Village Fete (photos: Gemma Ward)
Many thanks to Gemma, too, for these pictures, which include several of some very small kings and queens arriving at the Memorial Ground in the State Coach (or State Trailer) in this case . . . PS: Depending on how you navigate to this gallery, it may refuse to return you to whatever page you were on previously. Sorry about that; will try to fix it.

BYGONE WHITEPARISH (photographers: various)
Unlike most of the other photo galleries in this part of the website, the photos here were taken over a much longer period (from Victorian times up to the year 2000). Many of them appeared in "Whiteparish: 100 Years of an English Village" (currently out of print) which was published in the year 2000 by the Whiteparish Historical and Environmental Association to commemorate the millenium; we are grateful to the Association for agreeing to the use of images from the book in this website. By the way, a much bigger and more varied set of photos can be seen in the Parish Lantern pub.
Notes:
(1) The gallery program sometimes causes the main pictures in this gallery to switch between two sizes. We’re trying to fix this, but in the meantime if you experience this problem, navigating by using the thumbnail pictures and leaving the pointer in one position on the chosen thumbnail, while studying the larger picture, seems to help.
(2) We’d be grateful for any corrections, particularly to the captions.
