Images on Commons need to be free in the US and the country of origin. If I
understand correctly, these images are from the UK, but the PD status to
pre-1923 images only applies to US images.

I've recently come across the following website
that publishes a large number of old photographs held in local council archives in

Many of the pictures are still in-copyright and have been released for private use only.
However, many are pre-1923 and hence copyright expired, such as:

Would it be copyright-compliant for someone, particularly someone based in the US, to
upload these photos to Commons based on the principles of PD-ART?
