That pic is probably as recognizable to those across the pond as the pic of the bombed Alfred P. Murrah Building is to us.

Carruthers · 08-07-2015, 02:41 PM

Manchester

On second thoughts, cancel that. I think it's London after the IRA bombed Bishopsgate.

Gravdigr · 08-07-2015, 02:51 PM

Not Manchester...according to the caption I read, which could be very wrong, I suppose.

I expected you would nail it, btw...I didn't think you would have troubles.

ETA: London it is...Street name, perhaps?

Gravdigr · 08-07-2015, 02:55 PM

Carruthers gets the win. After a moment of thought, I realized I didn't know the street the Murrah building sat on...

The pic caption said Wormwood St., after an IRA bombing.

Carruthers · 08-07-2015, 02:55 PM

Probably Bishopsgate. It's commonly known as the Bishopsgate Bomb.

Close enough I suppose, but for complete accuracy, see Gravdigr's post above.

Thank you Mr G.

This looks like a job for...Glatt Man!

At the link they are working on the assumption the three pictures were taken at approximately the same place and time. looks to me like a different outfit in the third picture. The first two she has that blue dress with a red apron. The last picture the dress looks longer and red, but that may be from the setting Sun. However I don't see the apron.

Re Bishopsgate bombing - I had friends who lived in Waterloo at the time, which is across the river - about two miles away at a guess. They thought someone tried to kick their door in. F went down with a baseball bat.

Clodfobble · 08-13-2015, 12:53 PM

I don't even think they're the same woman, Bruce. Could be different models on the same shoot, though.

From the article at the link:

A few things caught our eye upon reading the mystery of the girls in the negatives this past weekend.

Girls. Plural. I guess at least two ladies, then.

xoxoxoBruce · 08-13-2015, 04:35 PM

Good catch, I didn't notice that.

If they are not the same women, what makes them think it's the same location/time? Because Abell found them together at the thrift store? Or they were marked in some way to indicate that? And lastly, why the hell don't you know?

Gravdigr · 08-14-2015, 03:30 PM

It's actually more of a When Is This?, I suppose. They seem to think it's Dockweiler Beach, California near LAX. They want to confirm this, and the time of year, by the position of the moon, and the sunset.

I thought this may be the only way to actually tax Glatt's mastery of WhereIsThisness.

Gravdigr · 08-14-2015, 03:52 PM

Should be quick. And easy.
