Title: Where is this? Post by: Tonji on September 17, 2008, 11:23:02 AM Hi all,
More help needed to identify this location. They are all photographs taken in the 1870's. Views of a town & harbour. Looks to be in the Mediterranean, but any ideas welcome.... Thanks (http://photo-history-books.co.uk/hb1b.jpg) (http://photo-history-books.co.uk/hb2b.jpg) (http://photo-history-books.co.uk/hb3.jpg) (http://photo-history-books.co.uk/hb4a.jpg) Title: Re: Where is this?

Looks lovely. I'd love to go there, but the place still has rubbish problems I think. Title: Re: Where is this?
