It's for 3 A5 size pictures and 1 A4 size they aren't very heavy. The string is on the back.

A4 and A5 says Europe to me. Are your walls drywall/gypsum board or are they something like lathe and plaster? Nailing into plaster can be unpleasant. Adhesive hooks might be better there.

Yes they've just been replastered, I'm English. Is plaster nailing hard?

If it's just plaster, like a thing layer over brick, then there's nothing to drive the nail into. It's like trying to hammer into a concrete footpath.

Sounds like you're a good candidate for the 3M sticky hooks.
