The Poole Guide

Image Credits

Photographers, sources and licences for every photograph used on this guide.

Most of the photographs on The Poole Guide come from Wikimedia Commons and are used under Creative Commons licences. Those licences require that the photographer is credited by name, with a link to the original file and to the licence terms. That is what this page is for.

Every photograph below links to its source page on Commons, where the full licence text and any further conditions can be read.

Reusing these photographs

The licence belongs to the photographer, not to this guide. If you want to reuse one of these images, follow the licence on its Commons page rather than asking us: most require attribution, and some require that derivative works carry the same licence.

The guide's own photographs

Photographs taken for the guide itself are held in the picture library, which sets out its own terms.

Something wrong?

If a credit here is incorrect or incomplete, or you are the photographer and would like the attribution changed, tell us and it will be fixed.
