If you spot anything we can improve in a photo description — or if you have extra details to add — please use the ‘Submit info’ section under each image (our preferred option), or email us at enquiries@swop.org.uk. Just include the photo reference number and any updates such as location, date, event or names.

We also love receiving new photographs to help grow the collection, so if you have images of Wycombe’s past, please do share them with us!
