Title: Do You Know Where This Is #4 Post by: Tonji on July 26, 2006, 10:45:01 AM Hi all,
Final problem of the week. The top photo (circa 1890) is a pretty distinctive street with a clock tower in the centre. The sign on the building seems to be Plummer Roddis & Beecr(oft?), a google search gives this as Robertson Street, Hastings....ok so far, but doing an image search of Robertson Street, I can't find a match with the clock tower in (probably the clock tower was knocked down). So just need confirming that this is Hastings. The other photos I am also assuming are of Hastings, am I right? Any ideas? Thanks again [attachment deleted by admin] Title: Re: Do You Know Where This Is #4 Post by: Jon MW on July 26, 2006, 10:51:00 AM Yes, they are all Hastings.
If I remember I'll try and get the modern views this weekend and post them on here. 8) Title: Re: Do You Know Where This Is #4 Post by: Tonji on July 26, 2006, 12:38:46 PM Cheers Jon, thats what I needed to know :)up
Title: Re: Do You Know Where This Is #4 Post by: Jon MW on July 30, 2006, 03:01:15 PM I forgot to put a copy of the pictures on my camera for reference so I just had to remember the approximate view. The middle one was the only one which was quite a bit out, but it was the hardest to replicate anyway because of construction since the original was taken. Anyway these are the approximate modern equivalents of the above pictures.
