Take a look at francisfrith.co.uk For those of you that don't know the name his ambition was to photograph EVERYWHERE; towns, villages, streets especially throughout England. He eventually had a team of photographers who travelled the country. His archive of pictures are now available 'free to view' to everyone. You can even pick a picture and send an e-postcard of where you were born, had a holiday etc. There are thousands and thousands of photos all free to look at. There is an option to buy prints but there is no pressure to do so. I have spent (wasted?) many an hour looking at places from my past and present.
