I am searching for photographs (none on POE) of the following areas, does anyone live anywhere near them and would be willing to take photos for me?  They are all places where my close Ancestors originated from.  I can email greater detail if required:

Broadwell in Gloucestershire

COLWALL, Coddington, Flopgate, Withington, Weston Beggard, Much Marcle, Lugwardine in Herefordshire

Upton on Severn (a few photos on Poe), Ribbesford, Powick in Worcestershire

Enstone in Oxfordshire

I am trying to complete a family history for the grandchildren as they know nothing of their English heritage other than what we have told them.

Just uploaded a photo of Enstone in the autumn, just showing a lane and stone buildings.

Only this one off the top of my head of Enstone from 2004. I've never been to Hereford and only skim the Wiltshire/ Gloucs. border area of Gloucestershire. Of the 300+ photos I have on the site, they're just a fraction of the 13,000 photos on the PC/ laptop etc, but regrettably not of the regions you asked for; roughly about 100 miles from us, so maybe I  should expand my horizons a bit more ? Smile
A day's picture taking is typically 100+ of which maybe 5 or 6 you'll see here.

Me too Paul - I always take 100+ photos too on a day out!

Cathy - I can certainly help - I am quite central to some of those areas so I when I am over the move I will plan day trips to take some photos of some of those places.

I went to Ribbesford yesterday to clean my father's grave - his ashes are buried in Ribbesford church yard! I have some photos on here of Ribbesford - it is a very small area, mainly a few cottages around a church. It is very beautiful - one of the most lovely places in the country in my opinion with the River Severn flowing past and the lovely countryside.

I drive through Powick and Upton quite often as we love Castlemorton Common at the foot of the Malvern Hills which is very near to those places.

I can't place Broadwell at the moment but I know I have driven near there as I remember the name - our friends live at Cleeve Hill in Gloucestershire.

Thank you so much Stephanie, I am quite sure you are going to be very, very busy in the next few weeks on house essentials, so that it a wonderful offer.  I am particularly seeking any mention (especially in the churchyards) of Eacock (Ecock, Acock, Ecoke, etc), or Napper names.

Thanks for the great photo of Enstone Paul, with your permission I would like to add it to my Eacock family history pages.

Of course you can Cathy. Sorry I didn't take more at the time. After a few minutes checking, I think I've found your Eacock family line going back to Thomas Eacock of 1695 and his family/decendents then follows several of the place names you mentioned. Seems to me at least one of your family lines is steeped in Cotswold history.
