I actually already own lots of old and interesting local photo,s (I have been collecting them for years) in fact you would probably find a lot of them interesting.

If you already own lots of interesting local photos, why did you need to ask the way you did for more to practice on. Old photo's can be found on any flea market.
As for Clever Burrger read your own punch line on your posts, as you say I've met them before.
Quite a lot of my military photo's have been given to me by the older generation, who don't want their photo's thrown away when they pass on.
They are now in Accrington Library, for research purposes only.
Several members of Accy Web have seen a picture of a relative for the first time through this collection.
