In this section of the website, we intend to show pictures of Lenton both past and present, using photographs from the Lenton Local History Society archives, as well as new and recent photographs.  If you have any pictures of Lenton that you would like including on this page, please contact us at our regular email address.

Also, if you have any historical information about a street in Lenton, then email us with the details.  Did your family live or work there?  Can you tell us anything about its history?  Write and let us know.

If you have any school photographs we will put them in the gallery.  Let us have the relevant details as to the school, the year and the class along with the names of any fellow pupils you can recall.  No doubt in the fullness of time other visitors to the gallery may be able to recognise some of the missing names and we can then include further details.

We also intend to offer a free service to our readers, where we will add and take photographs of the area on request.  If you are researching your family tree and would like to see a photograph of your forebear's house, street or general area, contact us and we will do our best to help.
