Special thanks to Julian Luke from Minehead Museum for sourcing the majority of the images for the trail and gallery, we also thank the trustees for their valuable time, knowledge and contribution toward this project.

Wherever possible acknowledgement has been given to the intellectual ownership and copyright of the images. Due to the historical nature of the remaining images it has not been possible to trace all sources and these have been assumed to be of “orphan” copyright.

Thanks to the Minehead Information Centre team for their input for website content and photos.
