Visit to Thury 2012 - Photos

A report on our visit to Thury-Harcourt will follow. The object of this post is tell everyone that a new album of 45 photos of our visit has been uploaded. The link is on the right. These were taken by just two of our members and therefore fail to give a balanced view. We need more. If anyone has photos that they would like to see in the album, please talk to Clare Jones or any other member of the committee.

Additions to Photo Links

On the list of photo albums to the right you will see that a (very) small collection of photos of the visit by our French visitors in August 2009 has been added to the online collection. There must be a lot more photos out there. If you would like your photos added, please contact contact any member of the committee. It would help greatly, if you could supply them in digitised format on a CD or memory stick which could be copied and returned. You could even email them if you wish, (but remember that nowadays even a modest digital camera takes around 7meg photos and that it can take a long time to load even a single photo)

Pre-1945 Thury-Harcourt

If you have ever wondered what Thury-Harcourt looked like before the war, check out the new photo album of 24 old postcards that has been added to the list of albums to the right. Of especial note is the chateau showing that it was much larger than the current ruined facade suggests and the rather interesting market hall. Both these buildings were casualties of the battle of Normandy in 1944.

Photo Gallery

The blog has been changed to allow better access to the photo galleries by adding links to individual collections held on the web. These links are permanently displayed in the right hand margin. The previous small slide shows have been deleted because of technical problems of compatibility with the web storage

More photo albums have been added including archive and event photos and records from our 2004 visit. All these are accessible through the links. Some of the 2004 photos tie in quite nicely with the last posting about the Liberation Memorial
