The Bath Preservation Trust is asking residents to submit photos that document their experiences of how the three coronavirus lockdowns affected the streets and landscapes of Bath for a new project.

Locals are invited to send in their images, taken during one of the most extraordinary times in the city’s 2,000-year history.
From smartphone photos to those taken with a professional camera, individual images or an entire collection, if you would like to contribute to the project, send your photographs to [email protected].
Bath Preservation Trust’s Chief Executive Caroline Kay said: “Whether they are of empty pavements, pictures of rainbows in front windows, signs reminding people to wash their hands or maintain social distancing, car-free roads or socially distanced gatherings in public spaces, we’d love to receive photos that reflect the way in which our World Heritage City’s appearance changed during the past year.
“These images will form an important historical record of lockdown life in the city, creating an accessible archive that will help to show future generations what the city was like in this historic time.”
Selected images will be shared across BPT’s social media platforms with credit, and may also form part of future exhibitions.
Images will be stored in the Trust’s archive, which is accessible to the public by appointment.
The Bath Preservation Trust has said that images can be sent with or without copyright.
