The Witham Staple invites you to submit old photographs that provide an insight to our community in times past. If you would like to send a photograph for possible inclusion on this page please either e-mail to info@withamstaple.com a digital file (maximum size 100kb) in .jpeg format or contact the Web Editor about having printed originals scanned.  

Decisions on which photographs to include here will depend upon space and content and be made by the web editor.
