Hello Tony,

Thanks for your letter.

> Hi! I have seen an image on http://www.bwpics.co.uk/railstroll/rail18.html of Blacon station that I would like to place on the Blacon Wikipedia site. Can I use it?

Certainly.

> If so, to whom do I attribute it to? Any copyright issues?

I can't remember where I found the picture. i suspect someone sent it to me when I was putting the cycleway site together at the height of the CDTS hoo-hah.

I suspect it's old enough to not be a copyright issue so carry on. If anyone objects (and why would they for such a worthy cause?) I suppose you'll just have to remove it...

Have you written the entire Blacon entry? I'll check it out tomorrow and give it a link from the relevant bit of the site.

Cheers,

Steve
