Digital Cameras

Digital cameras may be used if the item to be photographed is out of copyright. We recommend that you use a digital camera if you would like copies from our newspapers, owing to their fragile condition.

Note: digital cameras and laptops are not to be plugged in on the Cheshire Lines premises for health and safety reasons.
