Hi Phil,Dek,& Blane,and all, as we are in conversation of photos and the reference to them I can only assumed that the photo that Dek posted on page 164 post 1801 is sightly over expose as the sky shows no clouds and the walls of the new buildings are wash out I personally think it is the same shot as the one that Phil posted on page 165 post 1811 but has been cropped, as for Phil's photo I think the photographer has done what we would call drop down an F-stop to make the picture darker as you can see the clouds on the sky line.having been a semi professional photographer myself in my time of youth, photographers always take two or more shots of the same subject with different setting on the camera and then pick out the best one for the purpose of the assignment.I don't think the photographer would have the time to change the lens from one focal length to another for as Phil pointed out the car coming up gt Francis st/little hall road has only moved a few yards that's assuming it is the same car as it is hard to make out.
as for referencing and cataloging and naming dates etc of photos in books and on other sites I am posting two examples of the same subject from the same web site.the first states it was taken in 1950 which I think is the right year, the second states it taken 1959! I think those bill posters has lasted well for nine years,I would have though that by 1959 a new road or block of flats would have been in place by then? if you look at the first picture you can not make out to names on the road sign to the other districts, in the second picture you can, also the name as the subject is a pub, The lamp tavern on the old Vauxhall road the first pic is named the camp tavern? the second pic is named correctly I think? the lamp tavern but taken 1959!
