English Heritage
52 different colour photos of historic sites managed by English Heritage.
The castles, palaces, abbeys and forts depicted in this pack are all managed by English Heritage. All the photographs are in colour and in vertical format, with each site named at the foot. The quality of the photos is good but the cards lack a black liner and are therefore ‘see-through’. The English Heritage logo appears on the Jokers. On the back is a view of Osborne House on the Isle of Wight with the ubiquitous “Waddingtons Number 1” logo above and the English Heritage logo beneath • See the box
