Send us your best pictures of Flint town, castle and coast

Help us celebrate Flint town, castle and coast by submitting your best pictures to feature in an exhibition later this year.

As part of Flintshire County Council’s ‘Off Flint’ project, we want to show just how special the town is, so we are asking people go out and take pictures then share them with us.

These might be of your favourite view or perhaps a hidden details that is usually overlooked. We’re also keen to hear the story behind the photo, what made you take it and why it is so special to you.

The photos will be on display in the final ‘Off Flint’ Exhibition in Flint Library during June and July, and will also be added to the digital kiosk as a permanent reminder.

‘Off Flint’ is an exciting project to involve local people in recording, conserving and celebrating the rich heritage of Flint town, castle and coast. Stories, photos and artefacts gathered during the project will form the basis of a new community archive in Flint Library so that the information gathered is widely accessible to everyone.

The project is led by Flintshire County Council and, thanks to the National Lottery players, has received £54,200 funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Any photos of people must be taken with their permission. The last date to send photos in is Friday, 24 May, 2024. Photos, along with the photography form, can be submitted via email to communityheritageofficer@flintshire.gov.uk
