Subscribers to our newsletter may recognise the feature ‘where was this photograph taken?‘ through which we have sent snapshots of Dorset to our readers and asked them to identify where the images were taken from (if you’re not already subscribed to our newsletter, you can do so here to get regular emails sent directly to your inbox!)
We receive lots of responses from readers guessing at where the images were taken, sometimes with new information we were unaware of; as well as messages from people telling us how much they look forward to seeing the next image for them to work out!
So, we wanted to develop the idea a little, and run a small competition!
We have here 10 images from across the county and want you to guess where they were taken!
We will be offering a small prize of ten postcards of images from our collections to anyone who gets 7 or more out of the 10 correct (whilst stocks last)! Please note that answers given in the comments below will be removed so as not to spoil things for other people!
The competition will close on Sunday 29 May 2022, so get your answers sent to us before this date!
We will be editing this blog to include the answers after two weeks, so please ensure that your entries are submitted before Sunday 29 May 2022!**
