Reader photographs

Submit a photo of your town

Every one of our 171 town pages carries a photograph, and we credit the photographer by name. Most of ours came from public archives, they show the place, but rarely the people. If you have a better one, we’d love to use it.

Which town or city? *

Your photo *

Straight off your phone is fine, we resize it for you. Landscape (wider than tall) works best, because it sits across the top of the page.

What does it show?

Optional, but it helps, we use this as the caption and as the description for screen readers.

Your name *

Your email *

So we can tell you if we publish it.

How should we credit you?

This is the name that appears on the page. Leave it blank and we’ll use your name above.

I took this photograph myself.I’m happy for Good News England to publish it on this town’s page, crediting me by the name above. I understand I keep the copyright, and can ask for it to be taken down at any time by emailing hello@goodnewsengland.co.uk.Also send me the free Good News England digest (three mornings a week plus a Sunday best-of). We’ll tell you if your photo is published either way.

Please don’t send a photo where a person is the clear subject unless they’re happy to appear on the site, and please don’t send photos where a child is the subject. General street and crowd scenes are fine. More in our privacy policy.

We only use your email to reply about this photo, it’s never published. Privacy · See who we’ve credited

How contributing works, in plain terms

Who can contribute: Readers, charities and community groups, businesses with a genuine human story, photographers, first-time writers and experienced journalists.
Where: Positive, verifiable stories and documentary photographs connected to England's towns and cities.
Cost: Free to submit and free to be considered. Coverage, links and bylines cannot be bought, and we do not run guest posts.
Payment: None, unless a separate written commission says otherwise. Nothing here implies employment.
Who decides: A human editor (Daniel Stevens, founder) reads every submission. Publication is never guaranteed, and the editor makes the final call on every word.
Credit: A named byline or photographer credit when published, using the public name you choose.
Rights: Photographers keep their copyright. Each form states in plain English exactly where we may use what you send, and you can ask for it to be taken down.
Evidence: We need a source or contact we can check and confirmation of image rights. Facts may be verified with the people involved before publication.
Reply: A human replies, usually within a week. Time-sensitive? Say so in your first line.
