How do we stand with copyrights when posting pics and text from books? Got some nice stuff to put on if allowed.

[FireBrad]

No problems with posting any pics as long as credit is given to the photographers if you know who took them or to the owners. If any requsts for photos to be removed are recieved then the admin/mods will comply and remove them

That pic is certainly copyrighted - its part of the collection of Mr Clifford Ashton who took thousands of photos in the Greater Manchester area. If you take a look at the link and then read the blurb you will see that the whole collection and the copyright now rests with the Greater Manchester Fire Service Museum and all equiries on usage etc should be directed to them.
