Hello Paul,
For a weekly feature on the Melton Borough Villages on http://www.travelintime.uk, a remake of a 1967 picture where Lock 7 if Oakham Canal was in Wyfordby, is the start of my story on the village. I would like to use a detail (small extract) of the Waterway Routes map of the canal, of course with a credit to your website. Is that possible?
Regards,
Estelle
Yes, you may use a small extract of my Oakham Canal map as requested. You may also use small extracts of any of my free maps (such as the Grantham Canal) on your website,
Hi
I’m a member of the Melton & Oakham Waterways Society, was wandering if I can use these maps of our face book page.
Regards,
Dave
You are welcome to use small extracts on your Facebook page, but please credit them to “www.waterwayroutes.co.uk”
Please direct people to visit my website for the full map and encourage visitors to consider purchasing one of the maps for the open waterways as it’s those sales which fund the free maps for over 50 restoration projects. Many other canal societies/trusts include a link from their website too.
