Would recommend a short lead-in descriptive paragraph for each page, Construction, etc.
"The following photos show the original two basins blah blah from 1882 with keepers home and gatehouse until 2020 blah blah."

1. CONSTRUCTION (This is copy of current page. However, thumbnails are on the right, captions on top. I found that I read the captions if they were 'in my face' at the top of the photo. My recommendation for pc; but for mobile longer captions cover photos.)
2. CONSTRUCTION
Not a slide show. Photos are side by side with caption outside of photo on pc, this design will show stacked on mobile. Good for pc, caption does not hide photo but still too wordy for mobile)

3. CONSTRUCTION This format is photo, description, photo description down the page. This design provides the best view of photos. Not a slide show. Slide shows do not receive the attention that you want. The 5 second or more change is jarring and then annoying to viewers.
