Robin as Mike says (/as far as I can see) Cadw is by default OGL as per http://cadw.wales.gov.uk/copyright/?skip=1&lang=en unless it says otherwise (e.g. it’s identified as third party). That means for example all the images at this section http://cadw.wales.gov.uk/learning/resources/castles/earthworkcastle/?lang=en should be reproducible. Certainly worth clarifying and seeing how much can be reused!

Many thanks to you all. 

CC to me has always meant Creative Commons, I'm sorry for clouding the issue with such ambiguity! Thanks for the the link to the OGL article. If I'm correct: files with an OGL license can be used on Wikipedia and her sisters; Crown Copyright, in general, can not. Crown Copyright runs out after 50 years. 

I'll reword my request to Cadw. 

Have a great new year all of you!

Robin
