Lots and lots of entries in the listings (jst basing it on the "Carriages"
listing) but very few links there.

I would probably make a page of thumbnails, around the 40 to 50 pixel size,
and have the thumbnails as clickable links to the full version.

I would also indicate which pics are in colour and which are in black and
white.

Also, the only other suggestion I can make is to make it more obvious how to
get from the welcome page into the actual site. The small link just below
the photo is not overly intuitive, particularly if someone has their colours
set so that the link does not stand out.

Nice site, btw.
