Hi all I saw that you had asked them about this on Twitter Andy, but assume you didn't get a response? I notice that they are working with Smartframe, so it's possible to share or embed the images but obviously with restrictions, which shouldn't be the case. I'm not currently in contact with Historic England but will get in touch with them about this issue.

Andy, I am aware that in Firefox, you can hold shift and right click to bypass custom right click prompts. There are extensions for Chrome which can perform similar actions. It may also be worth contacting Historic England and enquiring about the issue, so they can rectify it.
