::According to your original file description, you claimed that you created the photo yourself and that you are the copyright holder. That seemed a bit unlikely for a photo from 1870. You're now claiming that the photo is in the public domain, which seems more likely, but you need to provide some evidence of that. Who created the photo, when and where was it first published, and where did you get it from?

::Thanks for getting back to me so promptly. Apologies for my 'newbie' mistake in my original upload. My reasoning was that as I had scanned an original 1870 photograph now out of copyright, the only copyright consideration was with this 'new image' (my scan) for I technically hold the copyright. I was uploading this image to accompany a test article I was doing in preparation for a project I'm involved with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/QSMM I've now had a training session with User:Pigsonthewing this week, who has pointed out 'the error of my ways'. The photographer is anon and the photograph has been published numerous time over the last century, I believe it was originally taken at the behest of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preston_Guardian Preston(now Farmers) Guardian]. The photo is now in the collection of Lancashire Libraries.
