Let the archive inspire you.
The photographs on this site belong to earlier journeys. Streets, access arrangements, transport routes, and visitor facilities can change. Use these pages for inspiration, then check current information with the destination, venue, or transport operator before travelling.
Leave room in the day.
A useful itinerary has a little space around its edges. Keep a route home, an offline map, and the details you need — then allow yourself a pause that is not on the list.
Look after the places you visit.
Respect local rules, private spaces, and the people who live there. Ask before making a person the subject of a photograph. Take your memories home and leave the place cared for.
A photograph is a beginning.
Our illustrated stories are imaginative responses to the archive. They are not a guide to current conditions or a substitute for your own judgement. The original images remain available beside the artwork, so you can see the starting point.
